Plot.
It's midnight at the bookstore and all the book and magazine characters are coming to life.

Wiki.
Speaking of the Weather is an animated cartoon short in the Merrie Melodies series produced by Leon Schlesinger for Warner Bros. Released to theaters on September 4, 1937, it was directed by Frank Tashlin and animated by Joe D'Igalo and Volney White.
The film centers around literary figures coming to life — a basic theme that Tashlin would later use in the subsequent shorts Have You Got Any Castles? and You're an Education, both released in 1938. Collectively, the films are commonly referred to as the "Tashlin Three."
The title is a pun on the idiomatic expression "speak of the devil".
