'The Mechanical Cow' is an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoon from 1927. It was distributed by Universal Pictures. The cartoon was re-released by Walter Lantz Productions in 1932 with music and sound effects added.
Plot
Oswald and his mechanical cow are sleeping in adjacent beds. The alarm clock wakes up Oswald, who has a brief fight with the clock. He attempts to get the cow out of bed but the cow refuses to get up. Finally Oswald coaxes the cow onto a slide which propels him down to a lower floor onto four roller skates. Oswald rides on the cow outside while announcing that he has milk to sell. A mother hippopotamus buys some for her infant hippo, which Oswald dispenses from the cow's udder directly into the baby's mouth. Fanny, Oswald's girlfriend, comes to buy some milk and Oswald flirts with her.
Suddenly, a car containing some dark, unidentified figures appears, and they kidnap Fanny and drive away. Oswald follows, riding on the mechanical cow. The figures shoot at Oswald but he evades their bullets. Oswald causes the cow's neck to elongate in a scissors mechanism, reaching the car. He runs along the neck and extracts Fanny from the car. They ride away on the cow, with the car now pursuing them. Oswald and Fanny fall off a cliff but Oswald grabs a branch to stop their fall. The pursuing car also falls over the cliff, with the nefarious figures falling out of the car into a body of water where they are eaten by alligators. Oswald and Fanny ride off on the mechanical cow.
