Art Gallery (1939)

An art museum on a dark and stormy night The statue of Nero comes to life and tries to burn the nearby painting of Rome but his matches go out He tries to get a set of hear no evil monkeys to take the matches from a still life but they refuse and he teases them The other artworks come to their defense Nero plays hurt and gets the monkeys to help after they stumble around in the still life for a while they get drunk on lighter fluid and start breathing flames which they combine with the fluid to act as a flamethrower Soon the museum is ablaze and all the paintings are either sounding the alarm or coming to fight the fire
