Paying the Piper is a 1949 Looney Tunes (reissued as a Blue Ribbon Merrie Melodie in the beginning with the original Looney Tunes ending title card) cartoon starring Porky Pig. It is a parody of the fairy tale The Pied Piper and it involves Porky trying to stop a cat that disguises himself as the last rat to bring the rats back for the local cats and later to get the reward money back from the cat by playing a horn (which is a Clarinet). It has Porky in the role of the piper character.
