Synopsis
Porky’s birthday. His uncle sends him a silkworm that churns out articles of clothing when it hears the word “sew.” After a sock and a bra, Porky stuffs it in a pocket to prepare for his party.

The goose tries increasingly violent ways of remedying this. Meanwhile, Porky’s dog, lathered with shaving cream, runs in and is branded a mad dog. –IMDb
