Directed by: Joy Batchelor, John Halas

Synopsis: A British animated short explaining the advantages of donating salvage during World War II.

Cartoon Cat: The short begins inside a black cat’s mouth as it is yowling to the moon. The camera pulls back to reveal the cat’s face.

The cat is sitting on a railing as it sings. Apparently locals don’t appreciate the caterwauling and throw a group of items at the cat’s head. Fortunately, the cat ducks to avoid the projectiles.

The cat gives the unseen assailants a nasty glance before a bone is thrown as well. The cat takes this as a cue to leave. The focus then turns to the discarded items and their effort to help the war.

Final Mewsings: Cats are all for salvaging trash if it is not thrown at them first!
