Jungle Jingles
About Jungle Jingles
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit rides an ostrich through a jungle. The bird stops short, throws him, and lays an egg. The chick hatches wearing a hat and walks off with a cane. An elephant nearby is putting coconuts with its trunk. A wild shot hits the ostrich, which bolts, and Oswald wrestles the elephant down. The elephant's father shows up. Oswald lets a mouse out of a cage and the father runs. A squirrel kicks Oswald into a cave, a lion comes out after him, and he hides in a hollow log. The lion's scissor teeth come off in the log. Oswald uses them, and the lion runs.
