Summary
A canine martyr gleaming with maple viscosity; a feline provocateur swirling chaos through amber tides; a rooster crowing at the absurdity of it all—these three ignite a slapstick cosmos where stickiness equals sovereignty. Outside their syrupy Eden, a frontier gin-mill exhales gunsmoke and cheap whiskey, its bat-wing doors framing a black-hatted revenant who fires at phantoms. The animals, now jangling outlaws astride galloping phantasm-horses, thunder straight into the camera’s glass eye, pulverizing the fourth wall in a daredevil crescendo that fuses cartoon physics with rodeo ballet.
Synopsis
There is a dog which allows syrup to be poured all over him, and a cat which mixes it up with the dog and a rooster which does likewise. But the picture does not depend upon these animals for all its fun, however. A Western saloon and a bad man are used for some shoot-'em-up action. Then there is a whirlwind chase with good riding on the part of the principals. In one spot the horses ride directly into the camera. It is a splendid thrill, for the animals do not turn aside, but apparently gallop, unswerving into the lens.
