Ups N' Downs is a 1931 Looney Tunes cartoon featuring Bosko. It was released in April 1931 and is directed by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising. The film score was written by Frank Marsales.
Plot
Bosko, working as a hot dog salesman at a fair, is determined to win the fair's race with his self-built wooden horse. Despite fierce competition from riders and their legislate horses, along with the efforts of a cheating jockey who uses his spit and even a hand grenade to hinder Bosko, Bosko crosses the finish line using his horse's extendable neck and is crowned the winner of the race.
Alternate ending
The colorized version of the cartoon significantly changes the ending. In this version the hand grenade destroys Bosko's wooden horse, but also sends him flying into the cheating jockey and knocks him off his own horse, which Bosko is then able to use to win the race.
