In Mickey Plays Papa, Elmer was introduced as a baby, asleep in a basket, left by his mother, who was apparently poor and wanted him to have a better upbringing, so she also left a note telling whoever lives in the house of the doorstep she left him on to give him a good home, and he isn't "much trouble" while inside, Mickey Mouse was reading a horror story, "The Cry In the Night" with Pluto. All of a sudden, Elmer's sudden cries from outside frighten the two and they get out of bed to investigate, thinking he was a monster, but found him in the basket and decided to adopt him. Mickey and Pluto attempted to nurture and entertain him, but their attempts do not impress him and only make him cry until a mishap caused Mickey's nose to resemble Jimmy Durante, causing him to burst into laughter.
