How it feels

A detective investigates a murder in a spooky old mansion. The cartoon pokes fun at mystery stories with exaggerated gags and a lone organ soundtrack.

What happens

Who Killed Who? is a 1943 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film noir animated short directed by Tex Avery. The cartoon is a parody of whodunit stories and employs many clichés of the genre for humor; for example, the score is performed not by the MGM orchestra but by a solo organ, imitating the style of many radio dramas of the era.
