it hard to believe that chuck jones and know for irreverent masterpiece like duck amuck and what opera and doc . and start out with something as simple a the night watchman . it portray a kitten have to take over his ill father job a a security guard ( it not identify where this cartoon take place ) and only to have a bevy of tough mouse bully him and chow down on all the food . until the kitten guardian angel enter the fray . we should be able to forgive chuck if this one seem weak compare to his most famous work while after all and everyone have to start somewhere . so if nothing else and this one worth watch a a historical reference .
