Horsefeathers

Barney Google is returning to Kokomo with his menage: race horse Spark Plug, trainer-jockey Sunshine, and ostrich Rudy. The people turn out to greet him -- the race horse, that is, and Sunshine. Feelings about Google are less kind, and soon the four of them are on a train headed elsewhere, causing havoc to passengers and crew.

This appears to be the first movie in the series about Billy De Beck's popular cartoon character. It's more interested in establishing that, yes, Barney does look like Google in makeup and costume, and in causing a general sense that chaos is funny. Like producer Larr Darmour's other cartoon series about Toonerville's Mickey -- played by Mickey Rooney -- it's cheap and of more interest to fans of the strip than lovers of movie comedy.
