Contains 9 stories
Building Capers
6 pp · humor; children

Jasper needs a chair fixed, but the Scarecrow insists he's the greatest builder in the world—and launches into a series of tall tales about his most spectacular feats, from an impossible bridge across the Atlantic to a skyscraper so tall it uses the Empire State Building as a basement. As the Scarecrow spins one outrageous yarn after another, Jasper grows increasingly skeptical of his boasts, setting the stage for a comical reckoning when the Scarecrow attempts to prove his skills on the humble task at hand.

Rusty At the White House
5 pp · humor; children

When a young boy named Rusty daydreams about becoming President of the United States, he imagines himself as a dedicated leader working tirelessly for his country's welfare—until a scheming villain disrupts his imagined White House with a crooked plot to counterfeit money and seize the government. Faced with sabotage and treachery, President Rusty must use quick thinking and ingenuity to protect his nation from disaster. This charming 1947 tale from George Pal's Puppetoons perfectly captures a child's patriotic imagination and adventurous spirit.

Chicken-Hearted Villain
6 pp · humor; children

When Punchy lands a job unloading chickens to earn money for a pet for the lovely Judy, his rival Sylvester hatches a sabotage scheme—bribing the shady Kayo Kid to loosen the chicken crates and wreck Punchy's chances. But Sylvester's own expensive pedigreed dog has other plans, turning the tables in the most comical way possible.

On the Job
3 pp · humor

Jim Dandy lands a job at a construction company but can't resist playing his violin to soothe his aching finger—much to the boss's frustration when the music distracts the workers. When the foreman finds himself in a bind with half his crew absent and a deadline looming, he discovers that Jim's fiddle might be the answer to his prayers, not a problem.

A Photo Finish
6 pp · humor

Sgt. Jan gets a temporary assignment at a cavalry camp, where he photographs a young colt to send to his sweetheart, Mary Lou—but a mix-up with Colonel Nice's photo leads Mary Lou to think Jan is interested in another girl. When Jan saves someone from drowning and becomes a hero, the truth about the switched pictures finally comes to light, clearing up the misunderstanding and setting things right.

No Place Like Home
5 pp · humor; children

Jasper gets caught in a lie about how his pants got ripped and faces punishment—but when he runs away into the woods that night, a rainstorm, darkness, and his own hunger quickly teach him that home isn't so bad after all. This charming little tale follows a boy learning that there's no place quite like family, even when things don't go his way.

Rusty Joins the Foreign Legion
6 pp · humor; children
Global Warfare
1 pp · humor

Sgt. Jan faces an ultimatum from Captain Mean: shape up his troops or lose his rank. With a clever bit of wordplay, the sergeant puts his out-of-shape soldiers through their paces with a globe-trotting regimen designed to trim those expanding waistlines. This 1947 humor piece trades in the kind of groaning puns that make Puppetoons comedy tick.

Devil's Holiday
5 pp · humor; children

Punchy scrapes together money to take Judy to the movies, but the wealthy Sylvester Buttery-Barth won't accept her refusal of his invitation—so he treats Punchy to an ice cream binge that leaves him violently ill and dreaming of a fiery underworld where Sylvester, now the King Devil himself, forces him into wicked schemes. When Punchy wakes up, he's got a score to settle, and Judy discovers there's more than one way to stop a rival from enjoying the picture show.
