He chases the fleeing turtle to Ryugu-jo Palace. In Ryugu-jo Palace, the Treasure Box is being aired out. Many small crabs appear from the box and cut out paper to make fish. Thinking it would be fun, he tries to enter the castle, but is stopped by the gatekeeper, who says that no one from land can enter. Wanting to get in somehow, he tears off the skin of a fish, disguises himself as a fish, enters Ryugu-jo Palace, steals the Treasure Box, and escapes, escaping from the fish's pursuit. When he opens the Treasure Box, he finds out that it is an octopus monk, who gives him a terrible ordeal and takes the Treasure Box back. ■ExplanationHeihei steals the treasure box from Ryugu-jo Castle.

Along with the fun of the characters' transformations, this is a masterpiece with rhythmic gags bursting out throughout the whole story. ■Detailed evaluation"Chinkoro Heihei Tamatebako," released in 1936, is a short animated film produced by Chiyogami Eigasha, and is characterised by its unique gags and amusing transformations.

The story begins when Heira, a small boy whose afternoon dream is interrupted by a turtle, chases the turtle in a rage. Heira chases the turtle to the Ryugu-jo Palace, where he witnesses the Treasure Box being aired out. Intrigued by the sight of small crabs emerging from the box cutting paper into fish, Heira tries to get into the castle somehow.
