A turkey in a green suit struts into town and the general store, where he and all the other turkeys play the harmonica.
This Hugh Harman cartoon is a technical step back to 'synchronized sound' for the cartoonist, but like the occasional pure-music cartoon -- Friz Freleng, who had a sideline in these as Termite Terrace, had just turned out RHAPSODY IN RIVETS -- it's fun for the way it coordinates the music and the movement. The soundtrack features occasional spoken remarks, voiced by Mel Blanc, but most of it is simply the harmonica music of Borrah Minevitch and His Harmonica Rascals. They were a gorup who played harmonicas of all sizes. I think the live-action short of the group, made a couple of years later, is even more entertaining.
