Porky Pig has some troubles putting his cats out for the evening in Kitty Kornered, a Looney Tunes animated short from director Bob Clampett. But although the four troublesome felines (including Looney Tunes regular Sylvester) do everything in their power to resist the harried pig, Porky eventually frightens them out into the snowy night by calling on "Lassie," a vicious dog that actually turns out to be a shadow puppet. When the cats discover this deception, they, led by Sylvester, decide to get even -- they'll scare him even more than he scared them. Their revenge centers around a false radio broadcast, fooling Porky into believing there has been a landing of spacecraft from Mars. The cats then appear, dressed as multi-colored Martians, and have loads of fun tormenting Porky before chasing him out of the house. Highlights include a gun in a glass case, marked "Use Only in Case of Invasion from Mars," and a moment where the quartet of cats all simultaneously impersonate Teddy Roosevelt, charging on Porky with swords drawn.
