Who Killed Who?

Who Killed Who is directed by Tex Avery and was produced in 1943.

The short clip is about a man who is murdered and a detective enlisted to solve the murder. Upon arriving to the murder scene, the detective encounters many problems, the main one being who committed the crime.

The clip opens with someone saying "crime does not pay without a shadow of a doubt". The murderer's victim says that he is going to die. The victim is also reading Who Killed Who. After the clock strikes 12, the victim is shot by a man dressed in black. Upon arriving to the scene, the detective interogates the maid, the butler and the chauffeur. After the 3 suspects disappear, the detective becomes the murderer's next victim. They chase each other around the house and the detective unmasks the murderer, only to find out that the murderer is the host. The clip ends with the host crying and saying "I dood it".

This clip uses a lot of humor and uses stereotypes of murder mysteries. The animation is excellent in creating a humorous atmosphere and Tex Avery goes above and beyond trying to make the viewers laugh.
