This cartoon is a follow-up to the 1932 short Three's a Crowd, in which literary characters came to life and stepped off their book covers. In this film, the characters on magazine covers come to life.[3]

Plot

At night, the magazines at a drugstore come to life and put on a show. However, the man on the crime magazine seizes the opportunity to rob the cash. Now it's up to the sleuths of the detective magazine to catch him.

Celebrity cameos include Edward G. Robinson, who is inside the pages of a crime magazine. Comedian Ed Wynn appears in an ad for "Texico Quick-Exploding Gasoline" while Eddie Cantor takes off the beard of a violinist to reveal he's actually Rubinoff.

Alternate versions

When the cartoon was redrawn colorized in 1973 by Color Systems, Inc. under the name "Radio and Television Packagers", it was renamed Magazine Rack.

In addition, the cartoon was also one of the several Merrie Melody cartoons that was redrawn colorized by Turner Entertainment in 1995.
