Oswald would like to see Mlle. Zulu the Shimmy Queen but he's short on cash. Seeing the more stately gentlemen being admitted without tickets, he tries to fool the bouncer into thinking he's important by puffing up his chest and striding in. It doesn't work, and he's forced to try a second plan, sneaking in under another patron's shadow. He gets caught and spends his time being chased by the bouncer throughout the theater.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The short constructs a classic gag narrative around the clash of ambition and means, relying on relentless physical comedy and exaggerated, rubber-hose animation. It explores the timeless trope of the underdog versus the establishment.

What lingers after viewing is the whirlwind of inventive, nearly surreal chase sequences, where each twist escalates the delightful absurdity. A perfect burst of silent-era cartoon chaos. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Walt Disney
