Killer and his gang are robbing every bank in town in numerical order, except they skip the 13th National Bank. The police are unable to catch them, despite their predictability (and their endless sight gags). Finally, they get help from an unlikely source: the guy in the front of the theatre who sat through the picture before. They capture Killer, and he gets a long sentence, which he has to write on the blackboard 1,000 times. (imdb)

While not laugh out loud funny, this is a pretty entertaining short mocking the same films that was being made during that time period.

Definitely one of my favorite Tex Avery cartoons, spoofing the bread and butter films that Warners was famous for in the thirties...gangster films. By this time, Avery was leaps and bounds ahead of any other animation director working in Hollywood. His cartoons have the edge that separates them from the cartoons that were created for children. Within a few years, all the major studios would follow suit.

One great gag after another, strongly reminiscent (preminiscent?) of Airplane! and such.
