. . . domestic abuse running both ways, some sort of off-camera s-word assault, inhumane treatment of animals and a character who takes a death plunge off a cliff and THEN gets flattened by a large rock boulder. Did I mention loads of gunfire? It's pretty hard to keep all the havoc straight, unless you view your Dizzy cartoons with a police notebook in hand, preferably to be filled in by someone adept at shorthand. Maybe this animated short contains one wee bit of "comic relief," when Mickey fires his umbrella at Pegleg Pedro. At any rate, the chuckles are few and far between.
