Kannibal Kapers is a short animated film featuring the comic strip character Krazy Kat.

Plot

Krazy is riding away at sea on a life ring, perhaps from a ship that sunk. His life ring suddenly catches a large fish which promptly hurls him onto a tree on the shore. On that tree a spidermonkey picks up and places him on a platter which is then carried away by a cannibal chef. The cannibal chef carries Krazy to the chief of the cannibal tribe. The cannibal chief, however, finds Krazy not having enough flesh, and therefore refuses to eat him. The wife of the chief comes by and develops affection for him.

To treat the cannibal couple for sparing his life, Krazy decides to entertain them by dancing and being the conductor of their orchestra. Krazy then conducts, and the orchestra is performing in a more upbeat fashion. The performance goes as planned until Krazy is approached by a cannibal woman who seems to be bothered by the music. When Krazy does not notice her, the woman kicks him. The kick sends Krazy airborne onto much of the orchestra who are most disturbed. The musicians gang on him but Krazy is able to escape. But while he runs, a double bass player grabs and shoots Krazy like an arrow projected by a bow. The cartoon ends with Krazy falling back into the sea.
