Summary
A labyrinthine exercise in small-town chicanery, Toonerville Blues navigates the predatory legal maneuvers of a nefarious attorney seeking to exploit a vulnerable heroine. The narrative pivot occurs amidst the dust of a local baseball diamond, where a fortuitous strike of subterranean black gold transforms a game of leisure into an industrial windfall, effectively dismantling the lawyer's parasitic designs through the sheer serendipity of natural resource discovery. The film serves as a kinetic adaptation of Fontaine Fox's syndicated universe, blending the idiosyncratic charm of the Toonerville Trolley mythos with the burgeoning American obsession with sudden, transformative wealth. Through a series of slapstick interludes and jurisprudential tension, the hero’s athletic prowess is eclipsed by his accidental geological find, securing the heroine's safety and her estate from the clutches of institutional greed.
Synopsis
A crooked lawyer is thwarted in his designs on the heroine by the hero, who discovers oil in the outfield of the diamond where he is playing baseball.
