This is a cartoon in the Gandy Goose series produced by Terrytoons. There will be spoilers ahead:
This is an Aesop's Fable cartoon, where the ending relates a "moral" somehow connected to the preceding cartoon, with the ending being an extremely corny joke/pun.
This opens with a short segment describing the mosquito. Setting the tone for much of the cartoon, most of the gags are puns of one type or another. Then, the focus is turned to Gandy Goose and Sourpuss fishing. It might have been a better cartoon if it had stayed a fishing cartoon. Possibly the best gag in the short involves a sleeping fish and the frog Gandy uses as "bait". I won't spoil it here.
The mosquito attacks Gandy and Sourpuss, who flee the lake to run home. Even the house would probably have been a better subject for the short than what was used, as it's a "modern", push button house, where a Murphy bed goes up into the wall and a kitchen table drops down in its place, at the push of a button, for example.
As Gandy is busy cooking, the mosquito makes its way into the house and the carnage resumes. The mosquito summons reinforcements and the onslaught of predictable and obvious jokes begins. Gandy and Sourpuss don't stand a chance of winning. The ending is comparatively novel to a degree, so I won't spoil it here.
Worth watching once.
