The two cartoons "Uncle Tom's Cabana" (1947) and "Uncle Tom's Bungalow" (1937) in this episode are parodies of Uncle Tom's Cabin.

In "Uncle Tom's Bungalow" Topsy and Little Eva buy Uncle Tom from Simon Legree's Used Slave Company, but can't keep up the payments. Topsy and Eva do a color switch under Legree's whip as Eliza saves the day. "Uncle Tom's Bungalow" is one of the Censored 11 cartoons which have not been released on television or video, and are considered too racist or politically incorrect by today's standards.
