Hmmm. A banned cartoon. Let's takes a look! The narrator tells us a tale of Abdul the Bulbul-Ameer (PLEASE DO NOT HISS AT THE CRIMINAL!) Now the narrator introduces us too Ivan Scavinsky Scavar (PLEASE DO NOT ROOT FOR THE HERO!) Ivan and his little slave goes down town to confront Abdul. 

Ivan's stooge: What's the matter with you? You're blocking traffic!

I'm starting to think he's being annoying on purpose. So Abdul uses his toe to push Ivan's stooge away. Where Ivan trotted on the toe of Abdul the Bulbul-Ameer. Ivan stepped on it so hard, Abdul's toes are out his shoes. So for payback, Abdul stretches Ivan's nose and lets go. Ivan then puffs smoke in Abdul's face. Ivan makes a line and the both sword fight. By playing tick-tack-toe. Abdul throws his sword at Ivan but ducks. So instead, they fist fight. And by one word, EVERYONE  goes to the arena. So Groucho, Harpo, and Chico Marx are the newsreel people. So Ivan's turd-er-stooge introduces the both and begin to fight. While Groucho continues to say up and down, Ivan isn't being a very sporting fighter. Ivan's shi-er-stooge rings the bell and Ivan twirls on his feet while punching Abdul at the back of his head. Ivan twirls on his hands and kicks Abdul in the face. Ivan twirls Abdul while slapping him. Ivan twirls again and Abdul gets a good whack at him. Ivan, sadly, wakes and bops Abdul. The both then beat up each other and it's SO captivating that the Marx Brothers get into the fight and Groucho gets bopped. Ivan's crap-er-stooge sticks a bomb in Abdul's pants then blows up. WHAT?! THE WHOLE ARENA BLEW UP??? WHAT BOMB WAS THAT, A NUCLEAR BOMB!!? The Marx Brothers of course follow and both fall into ice and are frozen.
