Alice Solves the Puzzle is a 1925 animated short film directed by Walt Disney.

A girl named Alice (Margie Gay) is struggling to complete a difficult crossword-puzzle when her cat Julius tells her they should go to the beach.

[4] In this first installment he is referred to as "Bootleg Pete" because of his use of whiskey (at a time when alcohol was illegal due to prohibition in the US).

However, Merrit discovered in the German version that Pete is stopped by a customs inspector who examines the boat, then lets him pass.

[5] The only remnant of the scene in the United States is two frames in which Pete's whiskey bottle is still visible.
