Rooty Toot Toot tells the boogie-woogie musical story of the passion-murder trial of Frankie, a lovely young woman who kills her cheating boyfriend in a fit of jealousy.mated 7-minute short.

Her creative defense lawyer, “Honest John the Crook,” does not cross examine any of the prosecution’s witnesses, but rather spins an imaginative tale of wildly ricocheting bullets that miraculously persuades the jury to find her not guilty.
Rooty Toot Toot was voted one of the top 50 Greatest Cartoons of All Time.

Wait for the surprise ending…
