Scrappy and Oopie are the introductory speakers at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair in this typically outrageous Dick Huemer cartoon. Huemer's animation was outsized and the gags are extreme, ranging from Rube-Goldbergesque inventions to the typical parades of celebrities -- although the first one who shows up is animator Art Davis, having his hair operated on by a machine.
Even the celebrities are not the merely the usual assortment of Hollywood types. Images of FDR, Mussolini, Hindenberg and Gandhi -- who does a two-act with Jimmy Durante -- keep the energy high in this cartoon.
