No Rags, But There's a Musical Cat

Bimbo plays a garbage man with a jazz-playing cat in his wagon in Any Rags, a 1932 Talkartoon.

The cat’s on a cornet, which he turns into a machine gun. Then a horse comes out of the horn, whinnies, goes back in, then the horn develops teeth and plays “wah-wah-wah.”



Betty Boop loses her blouse a couple of times, and Koko does a swish routine, amongst other gags. Willard Bowsky and Tom Bonfiglio are the animators.

Take a listen to Arthur Collins’ version of the song that you’ll hear in this cartoon.
