Old Tom's Comeback

Fethry is in charge of Donald's alligator farm. A movie studio wants a crocodile for a Tarzan-like movie and Fethry offers them Old Tom, a retired movie star alligator (after some make-up to restore his old frightening look). But Old Tom only comes to life in the studio when an electrical cable touches his nose by accident. He beats the Tarzan actor and gets his old fame again
