The "Merrie Melody" cartoon shows two dogs playing and running into a theater where there appears to be circus equipment. They see a bone and go after it, but push it onto a teeter- totter. From there, the bone goes flying up to a high wire, then back down to a tub of water where a seal resides. They also encounter a hostile little bird who, for some reason, is protecting the bone. The dogs are tormented trying to catch that elusive bone.

How this won an award (some "blue ribbon") is mystifying. It was not funny and the last few minutes were especially non-eventful and weak. This was really lame.
