Felix Pinches the Pole
Seeing a man about to eat a roast chicken, Felix uses pepper to make him sneeze it out of the house--but it's then grabbed by a snake. A kindly barber feeds Felix, though, and in gratitude Felix promises to replace the man's stolen barber pole. And he knows just where to get one--the North Pole.
From the archive
Felix goes to Iceland to try to find a barber pole for his friend! Don't ask, just go along with it. Lots of good drawing and clever animation in this short. Public domain music from pre-1923 acoustic records and sound effects have been added.
