When this silent cartoon begins, Max Fleischer is being a bit of a jerk towards Ko-Ko and his pup by putting the bottle of ink over a bunson burner-type set-up. Naturally, the cartoon characters become hot and beg Max to give them some relief. Max, being a jerk, tells them to break a pile of rocks he just drew and then he'll draw them a swimming hole. The pair do...and Max draws them a lake with boiling water! Tired of being jerked around by Max, the pair leave the cartoon and find a public swimming pool...and decide to get their revenge on Max through his girlfriend who is swimming there. What's next?
This is yet another cute short from the Fleischer brothers. As you'd expect, they integrated live action with cartoons quite well, the film has a nice sense of humor and it holds up well being a mostly silent film. I say mostly because like many from 1928-29, sound effects were added along with music.
