Porky's Movie Mystery is a 1939 theatrical Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Bob Clampett and starring Porky Pig as Mr. Motto, a parody of Mr. Moto. Originally drawn in black and white, it was colorized in 1967.For weeks, Hollywood has been terrorized by a black clad phantom who has been ruining pictures and frightening stars. As the police struggle to find the mysterious phantom, the audience learns that he's actually the Invisible Man, who, angry over being dropped after starring in a single picture, intends to make sure Hollywood never makes another film. Unable to catch him, the police call upon Mr. Motto, who is vacationing on a tiny island. Upon learning of the situation, Mr. Motto flies back home and begins his search for the phantom. When the invisible phantom learns that Motto's after him, he uses his invisibility to ambush him, with Motto's mastery of Ju Jitsu the only thing that can save him. Even after he's subdued, however, the true identity of the invisible man in still surprising.
