 J.T. Gimlet s department store is closed, and the mice are going on a tour, led by the same  W.C. Fields  (qv) mouse as in _Little Blabbermouse (1940)_ (qv). First, the shoe department, where we see mules, both red and green, who pop out of the box and bray at us. Next, the artworks: Whistler s Mother proves to be a good whistler herself; The Thinker is puzzling over his tax return; a painting that starts with two Indians becomes The Last of the Mohicans. In housewares, an automatic ashtray deals with a cigar (prompting a string of babble from Blabbermouse). An automated poker table plays the whole game, complete with the requisite ace-up-the-sleeve. And finally, the gift-wrap department, which includes one robot to measure out ribbon and another to wrap packages. This prompts another string of babble from Blabbermouse, which gets *him* wrapped up (and, when that s not enough, slapped with a "Do Not Open Until Xmas" sticker on his mouth).
