Oily To Revs (Catnip Cat)

Oily To Revs is a Aldo Boomer animated short film that was released in 1947.

Synopsis
While travelling along a woodland highway, Catnip's car runs out of gas. He intends to get some more by siphoning some from a nearby car, not realizing the car belongs to policeman Tommy Bulldog who immediately chases the cat. Catnip temporarily eludes Tommy by disguising himself as a gas station attendant who fills Tommy's car to the brim with water! When Catnip's disguise is uncovered, the two duel with grease guns. Catnip, of course, cheats until he makes the mistake of escaping onto a grease rack at which point he slips backward into a vise which Tommy uses to trap him!
