Origin[]
The "Alcatraz jail-bird" is a criminal bird with a voice like Edward G. Robinson claims innocence, "I didn't do it, I tell ya!" In the cage next door, the "stool pigeon", in a somewhat effeminate voice, retorts, "Oh, he did so do it; I saw him with my very own eyes; so there!'

Notes[]
- This cartoon fell into the public domain in 1967 due to United Artists failing to renew the copyright on time.
- Despite Egghead being heavily featured in in the cartoon, the character will not enter the public domain until 2033 due to his debut cartoon still being under copyright.
