This cartoon doesn't hold up all that well today, but in its day it was a very good cartoon. Like other cartoons of the era, such as Felix the Cat and Oswald, this cartoon is black & white and silent. However, you'll also probably notice that the drawings are a bit simpler as are the backgrounds. Still, it's a well executed cartoon that should appeal to Charley Bowers fans and those who like early animation.
The cartoon finds Mutt and Jeff (popular comic strip characters until about the 1970s) working at a restaurant. Jeff is the waiter and Mutt is in the kitchen. Much of the cooking is reminiscent of one of Bowers' later live-action films, HE DONE HIS BEST, as the cook dispenses food to the plate via tubes that magically transport the food. As for Jeff, his main job is to take the orders and make passes at the female customers. Sadly, by the end of the film, Bowers chose to do what was popular at the time--have a cop show up and start bonking the boys for no apparent reason whatsoever. This is a pretty bad cliché that tarnishes and otherwise decent short.
