In this short, multiple acts perform before an audience in a town hall. Performers include The Aaron Sisters singing trio and the Mound City Blue Blowers musicians. Another act features a tap dancer whose shoes have extensions on them that allow him to balance on the ends as one might use stilts. In the finale, an "inebriated" dog in the audience performs tricks. The short's title refers to the curfew in the town.
In this Dogville short, a married dog is out on the town with her lover boyfriend, which leads to conflict when the husband shows up.
Squirrel Ginger is the ringmaster for an animal circus. A parrot has snuck in using a weasel's ticket. The weasel keeps trying to enter as well, but keeps getting thrown out.
