At Bosko's movie house, our hero leads the audience in a rousing rendition of "We're in the Money"--and who cares if they get the lyrics wrong? The show proper begins with a newsreel, featuring a rare joint appearance by Jimmy Durante and Adolf Hitler. Then it's time for a two-reel comedy starring "Haurel and Lardy", in which the bowler-hatted duo indulge in some pie-throwing. The main feature stars Bosko's girlfriend Honey in the thrilling melodrama "He Done Her Dirt (And How!)"--and as Bosko watches poor Honey being victimized by the villain, he gets so wrought up that he jumps into the movie to rescue the girl. The last Warner Bros.cartoon produced by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising, Bosko's Picture Show has gained latter-day notoriety by virtue of an alleged profanity uttered by Bosko (Don't worry, folks: he actually says "That dirty fox!")
