This is the classic story of Frankie and Johnny and Nellie Blye. She catches him with Nellie and kills him. This takes a really cool jazz score and sets up a court case. Of course, the characters are quirky, but the judicial system we have today often reflects the one portrayed in this short. All testimony leads to what should be a guilty verdict. But don't turn your head for a second. There's much to come. Some reviewers give this ones and two because it's too loud and intense. A criticism was made that it isn't appropriate for children. Animation isn't always for children. Just watch the direction things have taken on television. There is biting satire and some pretty harsh stuff being presented these days. Why does the cartoonists craft have to be based on things done in the 1930's. This isn't a world beater, but it is creative and interprets the music well.
