What happens

Wet Blanket Policy is a 1948 Woody Woodpecker "cartune" directed by Dick Lundy. Released theatrically on August 27, 1948, the film was produced by Walter Lantz Productions and distributed by United Artists. The cartoon is noted for being the first appearance of Buzz Buzzard, and the film would later be reissued by Universal International, Lantz's former distributor. The title is a play-on-words about a type of insurance policy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
