Daytime Heroes: Mighty Mouse in The Racket Buster (1949)

Now, here's a rarity. A Mighty Mouse cartoon that features Pearl Pureheart, but not their mutual nemesis, Oil Can Harry. Instead, you have some gangster cats (their leader is a stereotype Edward G. Robinson mimic) who try to rub out Mighty Mouse, gangster style. Of course, you know how this will go.

Here's "The Racket Buster":



By this point in the series, they were alternating between standard fare such as this and the operatic bits where you'd find Pearl & Harry. We'll have one of the opera shorts down the line.

Rating: B.
