"Put out that light!" Gandy Goose and Sourpuss are Civil Defense air raid wardens on the home front during World War II. They come across a rooster and his family. The rooster fails to heed the media warnings to prepare in advance for blackout drills and scrambles to find suitable materials to make a blackout room in his house- with covered-up windows and no lights on- when the drill does come with hilarious results.

Let's be realistic.

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Gandy Goose and Sour Puss are Air Raid Wardens, leading a parade with a a marching song. They are only incidental to this cartoon, however. It's about a rooster named Henry who has not obeyed World War II blackout regulations and the humiliating self-injuries he undergoes as a result of his dereliction in this Propaganda Terrytoon.It's not that this is a poorly made cartoon. The gags are consistent and well executed, and the uncredited voice work is quite good -- Henry sounds like a rooster. It's that this was clearly aimed at Terry's target audience of small children, who would doubtless go home and pester dad about fixing up the blackout curtains. I suppose any chance to make children more annoying was one worth taking.
