★★ · Lawless Kid · Dodsworth the Cat · 2023-12-04

A spoiled brat ruins things because she does what she feels like. Apparently there's no mother to send her to bother, so she's smack in the middle of everything. Dad calmly stresses the need for rules. There's no rule against sawing violins, so we hear them constantly in the background of this short. It ends with the spoiled kid wanting to tell others what do do. She'll be a real prize when she grows up. The movie features chunks of stock footage.
