Directed by: Robert F. McGowan, Tom McNamara
Synopsis: The various members of the gang have chores to do on Saturday morning, but eventually each shirks their responsibilities to play pirates instead.
Cat Burglars (Scene Stealers): The first kid featured in this short is Ernest Morrison as he is awakened by a mule. In the corner of the room near the stove he pours some milk into a saucer, then lifts one of the burner lids to reveal three kittens inside the stove!
He lifts two of the kittens out of the stove and places them on the floor with the milk.
After cutting away from a shot of some baby ducks, we see all three of the kittens drinking milk from the saucer on the floor.
But when it cuts back to the wide shot of Ernest he now takes the last kitten from the stove and places it on the floor. An early blooper!
Final Mewsings: Kittens should not be used as kindling.
