Wallace Carlson walks viewers through the production of an animated short at Bray Studios.

A young boy steals jam from his mother and his mother tells him the story of the pelican and the monkey who stole everything in sight. The monkey was punished by having to make little rock out of big one on the chain gang, and the pelican has his bill padlocked.

Forbidden Fruit begins with New York in the grip of a banana shortage. Residents sing (or scream) “Yes! We Have No Bananas,” the hit novelty song of 1923 (inspired by real-life banana shortages—the film also references current events by mentioning mobster Louis Cohen, arrested for murder the same year). The scene shifts to animator Walter Lantz strumming the song on his guitar, before a co-worker presents him with a banana that transmogrifies into Colonel Heeza Liar, who tells the tale of how he ended “the great banana famine in 1923.”

One of the series of Bobby Bumps silent animated shorts made at Bray Studios.

Max Fleischer draws a clown, who comes alive on the page. The clown doesn't like the way he is drawn and demonstrates his own artistic abilities.

Mistaking a tiger's tail for a snake, Colonel Heeza Liar puts himself in wrong with a big tiger, who gives him a very bad quarter of an hour, until the matchless courage and ingenuity of our hero overcomes him. Next our friend mistakes a bear's ears for a butterfly, and tries to net them, with the result that soon he is up a tree only a breath or two in advance of the bear. Things look very dark for him, especially as the bear energetically tries to shake the colonel from his perch like a ripe apple, but again his resourcefulness finds a victory. As a final grand windup he makes the biggest bag of game, all at one shot that anyone ever secured under similar circumstances.

A new student at Washington College undergoes hazing, college football, dirty tricks by the rival team and a romance with a co-ed from Betsy Ross College.

By Bray Productions and Walter Waltz, Dinky Doodle in The Pied Piper.

A little boy and his beloved puppy find themselves in and out of mischief, this time hunting and fishing where they're not allowed.

This one is amusing in its early use of the rubber tire school of animation as Mr. Givny informs Jerry that they are out of coal for the train. The passengers who appear behave amusingly and when the train itself takes on anthropomorphic life, it makes its own sense -- outrageous for the day, even if slightly banal for fans of "Thomas the Engine".

We are introduced to the cartoon characters in the studio and the artist looking over a land map and the artist advises Dinky that he has purchased some land in Florida. Dinky volunteers to locate the property and the artist draws an imaginary airship in which Dinky and his sidekick, Weakheart, go exploring. They finally find the lot which the artist bought under the North Pole and they bring the pole back as evidence of its' location. The Eskimo Cop, who has been guarding the pole sneaks into it and comes along and in a terrific encounter between the cop and the artist, the artist is vanquished and the cop vanishes into thin air.
