| Description: | Trailer: THEY CAN'T KEEP AN OLD BLADE DOWN - CARE WITH PIG FEED Doctor requests people not to throw away with kitchen waste various items harmful to pigs. Couple are told by a doctor that there is no help for the patient. An X-ray cartoon shows digestive tract clogged with rope, safety pin, and electric light bulb. Real patients sit by the bedside, and we see the dead one: a pig, which the doctor covers with a sheet as the "parents" weep. The doctor appeals to the audience not to include in pig scraps "any of the following indigestible foods" and goes on with a litany of disgusting and ludicrous things which might harm pigs on the farm. He shows a razor blade and says, "Remember, you can't keep an old blade down." CU bin, "Food for Pigs." | |
