Sour Puss' house is overrun with mice, so he calls an extermination service. Unfortunately for him, it's Gandy Goose who shows up in this extremely well made Terrytoon.Take a look at those mice. They are cute, round-faced creatures with innocent smiles, even when they are pulling out pistols to shoot at Gandy. These juvenile features excuse every rotten, destructive thing they do and undoubtedly pleased Paul Terry's target audience of small children; look at what our surrogates can get away with! Whether this example of canniness was deliberate or an artifact of the studio's model sheets doesn't matter. It works perfectly. Terry's staff was as good as any in the industry; if their boss was a bit stodgy, they could still get decent work done. Occasionally, they could be great. Here's one of those times.
