Plot
[edit]When a mother goes to work in a factory during World War II, Porky Pig is hired to baby-sit her son, Butch. He quickly finds out that the baby is a violent-tempered infant. He tries to use a child psychology book to control the baby, but to no avail, including a scene where the baby does a Winston Churchill impression. Eventually at the end of the cartoon, the mother returns and asks Porky if he used it. He then replies, "Yeah, but that didn't work!" The mother then uses the book to spank the baby.
