About Looney Tunes: Ups 'n Downs (1931)
Ups N' Downs is a 1931 American animated comedy short film. It is the eighth film in the Looney Tunes series featuring Bosko.
Bosko is working as a hot dog salesman at a fair. A horse race is being held and advertised by a cow ridden by numerous small animals and a dachshund ridden by its puppies. An old dog buys a hot dog, who pleads with him for survival and strikes up a friendship with him. Some mice attempt to enter the race without paying a fare by being launched by an ostrich. The competitors, including one owned by a showman, train their horses.
