Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Frog, the Dog, and the Devil is a 1986 animated short film (8 minutes) from New Zealand, directed by Bob Stenhouse.It Was a Dark and Stormy Night in 1902. A swagman stands outside a saloon in a remote area. After chugging a bottle of liquor outside the saloon, he then fills it with water from a horse trough. He then enters and asks for a bottle, but when the wizened old bartender's attractive daughter gets him one, he says he has no money. The bar man asks for his bottle back, but the swagman gives back the old bottle, filled with water...and also containing a frog that slipped into the bottle.The man beats a quick retreat and gets on his horse, before the barman and the daughter see the frog in the bottle and realize the switcheroo. The man makes it out of town and chugs from the bottle he stole. But the rain continues to pour and the lightning continues to flash, and it seems that something scary and supernatural is chasing him...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Bat Out of Hell: When the thing chasing the man morphs from a beautiful woman to a skeleton or demon, it's accompanied by bats flying around.

Book-Ends: The end of the cartoon finds the man being flung off his horse and back into the saloon. He asks for whiskey, this time the bartender demands payment in advance, and the swagman buys a bottle—the same bottle with the frog in it that he took in at the beginning.

Bar Brawl: Not only does the man steal a bottle of alcohol, he also chugs another man's drink. The other man finds his drink gone, falsely accuses a third man, and punches him. A chaotic bar brawl breaks out as the man beats a retreat.

The Alcoholic: A guy who chugs from a bottle of liquor outside a saloon, enters the saloon, and steals a second bottle of liquor, is clearly an alcoholic. Some sources suggest that the hallucinatory wild ride the man takes is actually a metaphor for delirium tremens aka Pink Elephants, but there's nothing in the cartoon to confirm that.
