    • The Dover Boys (8:58) - More fully known as "The Dover Boys at Pimento University, or the Rivals of Roquefort Hall", this relatively early Chuck Jones cartoon is a playful parody of The Rover Boys, a popular book series of the era aimed at younger readers. An early example of "limited animation", it follows the titular three brothers as they face off against their eternal rival, the evil Dan Backslide.
    • Foney Fables (8:13) - Another 1942 short, this one directed by Friz Freleng, Foney Fables is a series of extremely short "fractured fairy tales" (an extremely common theme in animation at the time) including then-modern skewers of Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs, Old Mother Hubbard, and several others.
    • Hobby Horse-Laffs (6:41) - Director Norm McCabe helms this 1942 black-and-white Looney Tunes outing, again a spoof of a then-popular property (in this case, a radio series titled "Hobby Lobby"), in which a dozen or so unique hobbies and interests are lightly examined in very short vignettes.
  • Screen Guild Radio Broadcast (29:38) - Episode #183 of the long-running radio series is played in full; originally airing on Valentine's Day 1944 , this highly abridged program features Errol Flynn, Alexis Smith, and Ward Bond reprising their respective roles. (Long-time John Ford / John Wayne collaborator Grant Withers capably fills in for Jack Carson as James Corbett's friend, Walter Lowrie.)
