His creation is celebrated in a <a href="/wiki/Newsreel" title="Newsreel">newsreel</a>, showcasing the various uses for a portable hole: Rescuing a baby from a safe, cheating at your golf game and giving dogs a new place to bury their bones. Spurred by the film, a thief steals a briefcase containing Calvin's portable holes and uses them for criminal purposes, including emptying <a href="/wiki/Fort_Knox" title="Fort Knox">Fort Knox</a> and abducting a dancing girl from a <a href="/wiki/Burlesque" title="Burlesque">burlesque</a> house. However, he is chased by the police until he is backed against a wall, when he uses the last portable hole in the briefcase to go through the wall and seemingly escape, it is revealed that the other side is inside a prison. Calvin reads about the arrest in the paper and is glad, but Gertrude berates him furiously for not treating her right and says that one of them must leave. In retaliation, Calvin creates one more portable hole and throws it on the floor. The nagging and domineering wife steps in it and falls through it. After a few seconds, <a href="/wiki/Satan" title="Satan">Satan</a> comes up the portable hole, throws her back to Earth and complains in response: "Isn't it bad enough down there without her?" as the cartoon ends. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production_and_Reception">Production and Reception</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Hole_Idea&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Production and Reception"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>The Hole Idea</i> was the first short <a href="/wiki/Robert_McKimson" title="Robert McKimson">Robert McKimson</a> directed following Warner Bros.

While he was able to convince Warner Bros. to bring back his unit after the studio reopened, the lack of needed funds prevented him from retrieving his animators who were at this point scattered across the industry.
