The "goal" in the title may be a play-on-words for Charlie Chaplin's famous "The Gold Rush," but the "goal" here refers to the goal-line at a football game.
It's the big game between Nerts U. and Burp U. The good guys are "Nerts."
By the way, those of you have seen a number of early 1930s cartoons - and particularly these Flip The Frog ones - have you noticed how big the word "nerts" must have been back then? They use it a lot. I assume it's just another way of saying "aw, nuts."
As in almost every cartoon involving a sporting event, the action is fast and furious, and insane. This is no exception and was very good while the action was on the gridiron. When it switched near the end to a farm scene (don't ask how they got there) it got too silly but overall it was fun.
On the football field, I enjoyed the sight-gags involving the referee's whistle; the elastic goal posts; the crying scoreboard, Flip's knocking knees, the wing-sprouting football, and the pigskin actually meeting a real pig. Yes, this is nonstop lunacy.
