Gypsy Life
A Gypsy caravan travels across the countrieside. One night, as the Gypsy princess performs a dance, a bat-cat spies on the camp, flies back to his cave, and informs his colony, or whatever you call a group of bats. Anyway, they fly out, invade the camp and capture the Gypsies. The princess calls Mighty Mouse, who defeats the bats and wins the princess's heart.

"Singing as we roll along, life is just a merry song"... Hmmm, well a wagon train of rather musically adept travellers is merrily "never hurrying, never worrying" until they settle down for the night in front of a fire to some great violin music that accompanies a contemporary dance. Unfortunately, they are spotted by a flying bat who returns to his cave where they decide that "as an entrée they would be very nice". The gypsies must now flee for their very lives with the young girl in greatest peril until, well of course the whole cartoon is about her would-be saviour. Even if he really only does put in an appearance at the end where, accompanied by some lightly operatic rhyming couplets, "Mighty Mouse" tries to save the day in best thwack and pow fashion. It's watchable, and some of the singing isn't half bad, but in the end I actually felt quiet sorry for the alligator.
