Draggin' the Dragon is a 1928 Felix the Cat short produced by Pat Sullivan.
Plot[]
Felix, inclined to be Ritzy about his dining place, rejects several offers of food and chooses a Chinese place that refuses to serve cats. Felix is so mad that he steals the recipe book which contains the Chinese royal secret formula for chop suey. The chef consults with a mandarin who dispatches a coolie after the black cat.
In the meantime, Felix has used the book as an airplane and the coolie is rocketed up to him to do battle. Other coolies join as the fight gets down to earth. In the face of big odds, Felix retreats, and climbs a flagpole from which flies a flag with a dragon on it. The flag tears and the dragon is dragged off into a fight with Felix.
The black cat is getting the worst of the contest when he gets hold of some fireworks and soon routs the dragon, Felix literally draggin' th' dragon along home as a souvenir.
The famous black cat takes a hop into Chinaland, and has enough unusual adventures to hold the interest throughout this reel.
