Swooner Crooner plot from IMDb: "Porky Pig's egg farm faces production problems when a crooning rooster distracts the hens from their jobs."


Writer: Warren Foster


The trailer can be found online.


From Wikipedia: "Porky Pig is the supervisor of the Flockheed Eggcraft Factory, where dozens of hens lay eggs for the war effort (in this case, World War II). The hens suddenly get distracted from their egg laying when a handsome rooster (who resembles and sings like Frank Sinatra) is heard singing outside. Frankie's renditions of "It Can't Be Wrong" by Dick Haymes and "As Time Goes By" (from Casablanca, 1942) causes all the hens to swoon."
