Summary:
Bosko makes music
with the jungle animals.
Description:
As Bosko is hunting
in the jungle, a tiger creeps up behind him and gives him a lick. Finding
his gun useless, Bosko tries to flee. After being chased and having his
body stretched and his head slapped off, Bosko pulls out a flute and begins
playing music, which greatly entertains the tiger. Bosko and the tiger
play patty cake, dance, and Bosko plays plucks tiger's whiskers and tail
like guitar strings. Now thoroughly harmless, Bosko kicks the tiger off
a cliff. Bosko then spots two little monkeys playing leap frog. He picks
one of them up, but the monkey spits in his eye. Bosko begins spanking
the monkey's behind, until he notices the monkey's father looming above
him. Acting nonchalant, Bosko offers the ape some chewing gum. The ape
accepts, and seems to enjoy the gum very much. They both stretch the gum
out of their mouths and begin plucking a tune. The rest of the jungle
animals join in: monkeys, ostriches, kangaroos, and more. They play music
on themselves, on each other, or with the jungle scenery. A kangaroo plays
a tree, monkeys play a giraffe, and an elephant plays its trunk. A tree
does a provocative fanny-slapping dance, gyrating it's coconut bosoms,
until one flies off and hits Bosko in the head. Bosko and a trio of hyenas
laugh.
