Whistle Stop - 1946 - 85 minutes - Black & White - A story of love and intrigue in a small railroad town.

Kenny manages to clean up his act and win Mary back, only to be framed for murder by her jealous suitor.

Detour - 1945 - 67 minutes - Black & White - In flashback, New York nightclub pianist Al Roberts hitchhikes to Hollywood to join his girl Sue. On a rainy night, the sleazy gambler he's riding with mysteriously dies; afraid of the police, Roberts takes the man's identity. But thanks to a blackmailing dame, Roberts' every move plunges him deeper into trouble...

The Cat's Canary - 1932 - 6 minutes, 52 seconds - Black & White - Animated - In this bizarre musical tale, a cat (resembling Felix) catches a canary, which he promptly eats for dinner.
