Bosko's Soda Fountain is the fifteenth title in the Looney Tunes series featuring Bosko.[2] It was released as early as October 10, 1931.[1][a] It was directed by Hugh Harman.[3] The film score was composed by Frank Marsales.
This cartoon marks the first appearance of Honey's cat-like son, Wilber.
Bosko the soda jerk serves an ice cream float to a mouse who resembles and acts like Mickey Mouse. Bosko's old teacher, a female hippo, arrives, who Bosko is happy to see and serve. As Bosko's attempt to mix an ice cream float fails, the mouse mocks him, causing him to use the mouse as a mixer instead. Before the hippo could enjoy the float, her foolish decision to turn on the fan causes it to fall apart and land on her face, as she leaves furiously and unaware of her stupidity. Bosko mocks her and continues to work.
An old dachshund steals hot dogs, only to be caught by Bosko, who plays him like an accordion as punishment. While the dachshund willingly does so to avoid prosecution, Honey is teaching Wilber the cat how to play the piano and sing. He is reluctant to do so and wants to eat ice cream instead. Honey calls Bosko to deliver an ice cream cone, which he struggles to balance due to the path being poorly maintained. He arrives, only for Wilber to throw the ice cream at his face and return to his room. A chase sequence occurs where Bosko is repeatedly sabotaged by Wilber's tricks and ends up falling into a barrel of water.
