Porky's Five & Ten is a 1938 Looney Tunes short directed by Robert Clampett.
Plot[]
Porky is setting sail for the Boola-Boola islands, with hopes of opening a five-and-ten-cent store. Sadly, a swordfish cuts a hole in the ship and all of Porky's goods fall out. The fishes make use of them, and instead Porky opens up a Hollywood nightclub, which consists of fish-impersonated celebrities. Porky is ultimately saved when a water-spout restocks his ship.
