Stars in Stripes is a 1927 Felix the Cat short produced by Pat Sullivan.
Plot[]
Felix is disturbed from napping by a crying baby. To pacify the kid, Felix imitates Chaplin, then tries to steal a barber pole that the kid thinks is a giant peppermint stick. Felix is arrested for this effort and must break out of prison. He digs an escape hole which leads to a pond—which drains into the hole and floods the prison yard. Felix escapes on a horse, removing the stripes from his uniform to disguise the horse as a zebra. Felix gets away, but the “zebra” lands in a zoo.
