Mighty Mouse: Wolf! Wolf!

The worlds most powerful rodent returns to save the day!  In keeping with the wolf theme from last week's cartoon, this short from the 1940's features a wolf playing pied piper for some lambs with a little jazz before Mighty Mouse shows up to spoil the fun.  There is about 10 seconds of picture distortion around 2:13, but otherwise the quality is watchable.  From the Internet Archive, here is Mighty Mouse in "Wolf!  Wolf!"
