This is technically a Farmer Al Falfa cartoon from Terrytoon. There will be spoilers ahead:
This short has "To fill contractual obligation" written all over it, because there's just the barest suggestion of a plot. The short starts out with a number of gags involving fish in most cases, with no connection between them beyond that. There's the first of two musical skeleton jokes, both of them marginal and yet likely among the two or three funniest bits in the short. There is a rather nice bit of animation involving a fish swimming right at the audience. Other than that, the start of the short is rather pointless.
All of this is to set up first a dog and then Al Falfa fishing from a pier. The dog has a rather interesting fishing technique and Al decides to join him, but his efforts only manage to bring up a bottle labeled "Mule Kick 1492", which results in Al being kicked by a mule once he drinks some.
Al winds up on a throne under the sea, where a mermaid begins singing and he starts chasing her all around, first having no luck in catching her, but finally succeeding, only to have a most disconcerting conclusion. All's well that end's well, as Al drinks more "MuleKick" and the short ends with him wrestling with the mermaid again.
For completists.
