Fireman Flip rescues his cat girl-friend and they fly away on a vacuum cleaner in Fire-Fire (1932).
The cat kisses him.
She gets sucked into the vacuum bag.
The vacuum cleaner starts hacking away. It coughs up her panties.
Now the vacuum sucks up Flip.
There’s a fight inside the bag and then the vacuum coughs out a roughed-up Flip.
The cat girl-friend is upset that he came onto her in the bag, even though she came onto him on the top of the vacuum cleaner. She wags her finger as a xylophone plays a four-note car-horn sound.
Yes, I know the vacuum sucked up fire before Flip and the cat jumped on it. No, I don’t know where the fire went and why they’re not burned. No, I don’t know why the vacuum cleaner flies. No, I don’t know why the cat is so fickle. No, I don’t know why a frog is dating a cat.
Ub Iwerks is the only person to get a screen credit in this cartoon.
Was Flip still a frog at this point, or was he just a... Flip?
