The Cuckoo Murder Case (1930) Flip the Frog Cartoons

The Cuckoo Bird residing in an old clock in a creepy old mansion is shot dead by an unknown assailant; Flip the Frog is called in to investigate (and finds more than he bargained for). The story begins with a gun firing and a cuckoo, who had just emerged from the clock, getting shot through the stomach. The bird examines the big hole in him, peeks in and around it, and then drops dead. We see animation from the clock, the hands, the telephone on the wall - all inanimate objects, which is typical of cartoons, especially in the 1930s. Some of the humor is really clever.
