The Hep Cat
Directed by Robert Clampett
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Leon Schlesinger Productions
A lighthearted, fast-paced cartoon romp built entirely on slapstick humor, celebrity parody, and the timeless cat-versus-dog dynamic.
A cat-about-town fancies himself such an irresistible "hunk" he momentarily resembles Victor Mature. His wooing of a cute kitten gets derailed by a prankster dog using a cat hand puppet to trap him.
