The Blow Out

The Blow Out is a 1936 Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Tex Avery.
==Summary==
A crazed bomber is terrorizing the city. Meanwhile, a young Porky is a few cents shy of buying an ice cream soda; he starts earning it by picking up items people drop and handing them to him. But the bomber is not pleased to be on the receiving end of Porky's good deed...
==Plot==
The story line seems ripped from the day's headline with a mad bomber at work blowing up buildings around the city. Looking for all the world like The Shadow of pulp fiction fame, the Bomber meets his match when an ice cream soda-loving Porky decides to raise money by doing good deeds. (Young Porky Pig learns that helping people can earn him money.) So when the bomber leaves his time bomb behind, Porky keeps returning it in the hope he'll give him a reward! When Porky tries to return a bomb disguised as a clock that the bomber has left, a chase ensues and the bomber finally gets what is coming to him, as does Porky.
==Trivia==
Stage actress Lucille La Verne provided the voice of "The Bomber". It was surprising for La Verne to do a cartoon since, at that time, many stage actors refused to do film, much less a cartoon. About a year later, La Verne voiced the Wicked Queen/Old Crone, in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).
Soundtrack: "Fella with the Fiddle" (Music by Charlie Abbott), "Treacherous Knave" (Music by J.S. Zamecnik), "Mutiny" (Music by J.S. Zamecnik).
