Premise

Sniffles takes shelter in a book store on a snowy night. Frightened, the Bookworm rouses book characters to attack. When they realize Sniffles is no threat, they join together in a swing musical number. Frankenstein's monster disrupts the proceedings.

The song is Johnny Mercer and Harry Warren's "Mutiny in the Nursery", performed originally by Louis Armstrong in the Warner Bros. film Going Places.
