A Terrytoon reworking of Jack and the Beanstalk, and the hen/goose that laid the golden eggs; here, the hen is a Jackpot that lays/produces golden coins, and swings a mean mallet in protecting Jack from the evil giant.

Gandy Goose takes on the classic story.

In a little village in a far-away mythical country lives an old cobble and his dog. The old man can no longer make good shoes and they have fallen upon hard times until, one night, the dog hears noise in the workshop. He finds a band of merry elves making a beautiful pair of shoes. The cobbler believes his dog made them and spreads the news. The King hears about it and orders the cobble to have the dog make 500 pairs of shoes, as the King is as fond of shoes as a former first lady of the Philippines was. The elves come to the rescue, make the shoes, and the shoe-loving King is highly pleased and makes the old cobbler a rich man.

Heckle and Jeckle read in the newspaper about a reward offered by a millionaire for the finder of his childhood sweetheart. Since they have a storehouse filled with any kind of costume, they decide to collect the money by convincing the millionaire that Jackle is his lost love, so Jeckle shows up disguised as a woman---or female of whatever species applied. JUst as Jeckle has about convinced the millionaire that he is a she and his long-lost sweetheart, a slew of impostors walk in with the same claim.

A Rooster finds that none of the housework, cooking or chick-minding is going on when the hens join the WAACs. Throwing themselves into a first-aid course, they manage to tie up the Rooster with bandages and nearly run him down with a jeep.

Heckle and Jeckle, the talking magpies, tangle with a pirate who has a treasure map, and after much finagling and talk, they are able to get the map and the treasure, only to find that an agent for the Iternal Revenue Service is waiting to collect the unpaid back taxes.

A Terrytoon cartoon.

Oil Can Harry captures Mighty Mouse and traps him in the Mohave desert about to be eaten by vultures. Harry kidnaps Pearl Pureheart's father, the Colonel, ties him with a boulder and drops him off the Brooklyn Bridge and into the East river teeming with hungry crocodiles, then he goes after Pearl. The cops were too late to stop him as Harry absconds with Pearl. Meanwhile, Mighty Mouse breaks free and clobbers the vultures, rescues the colonel and his daughter and defeats Harry once again. Lots of singing in this operetta! This cartoon was produced in that old radio serial style, with the announcer setting the scene and interjecting throughout.

The Little King wants a wife, so his Court Hypnonist, using foul means for a devious purpose, brings him Sweet Suzette, who has no interest in marrying the King. Mighty Mouse rescues yet again a damsel-in-distress, and sees to it that no wedding bells ring for Sweet Suzette.

An old buzzard who has aspirations of having a chicken-dinner converts his trailer into a beauty shop in order to lure the hens from the barnyard hen-house. He not only lures all the hens but a rooster looking for a make-over. Dinky the Duck comes to the rescue.

Some mice decide to tease a cat, but he is hungry and determined and easily catches them. Just as he is about to eat them, Mighty Mouse comes to the rescue.

When a Dutch wolf puts the snatch on a Dutch-damsel-in-distress, the Holland-visiting Might Mouse comes to her rescue. As always, the Super Mighty Mouse, has a few problems before the villain is dispatched, but comes though in the end. And then, just like Superman, with theme-song blaring, flies off to his next adventure as the Wolrd's Mightest Mouse.

Gandy Goose reads a scary story just before lights out, and suddenly finds himself escorted to a house full of ghosts.
