Synopsis
It's nighttime in the forest. The man in the moon whistles, and gnomes emerge from a hole in the bottom of a tree. The gnomes dance. Three of them find a book placed open and upside down on the ground. It's the Mother Goose fairy tales. A gnome whistles, and Mother Goose emerges with her pet. The goose flies her to a secluded spot to meet with a scarecrow. The old woman and the loose-limbed straw man are having a secret affair. The animals of the forest, still wearing their night caps, look out from their nests and tree stumps to see the strange couple making love. They're scandalized. Meanwhile, the gnomes sing, as all the Mother Goose characters fly out of the book's pages and dance.

This was a fun odd cartoon. It's a hodge podge of wacky situations with all sorts of characters, no real fun, but it's all fun.
