Felix uses his brain's and daring to win a big war and his boss-friend saves the day with a lot of baloney. That about sums up this strange cartoon that was pretty entertaining.
The owner of a meat market, where apparently Felix The Cat was employed, shows our hero the newspaper headlines: "Rats Declare War On Cats." Felix reads all about it, shakes hands with his boss and marches off, ready to do battle in this latest war. Before he leaves, he proposes to his girlfriend, who promises to be there for him when he returns from the war.
The war is a wild one; kind of a cross between World War I and the Civil War. If you can picture thousands of sausages marching on a fort - hey, it's a cartoon! - you get the idea of the insanity here, which is fun to watch. This is pretty primitive, drawing-wise, but who's complaining considering when it was drawn? Not me.
This cartoon was part of a collection of in the "Presenting Felix The Cat - The Otto Messmer Classics - 1919-1924" DVD, with original organ scores by Dave Wickersham. It's up to the quality, transfer-wise, of some of the others but it's passable.
