What Is Shoot Straight About?

The premise of Shoot Straight without spoilers.

Starring Paul Parrott with Jobyna Ralston, Eddie Baker and George Rowe, this rarely‑seen comedy short follows Parrott as a hapless hunter. Acting as a predecessor to the Tex Avery cartoons of the 1940s, he blunders through inventive gag sequences, failing to catch a squirrel, rabbit, chinchilla, bobcat, duck and even a bear, all in one reel.
