Bimbo is in a rush to see his girl friend, but his car is ill. Fortunately, the doctor administers a dose of Texaco Motor Oil, and the car perks right up.
Half product placement, half industrial film, Texaco is listed as co-producing this. It was not a brand new arrangement; Lever Brothers had the Lumieres insert their Sunlight Soap in LAVEUSES in 1896, and every cartoon factory during the sound era produced industrial films; some, in fact, like Jam Handy, produced only industrial films.
The copy that I saw had to be restored by Tommy Joe Stathes and the Steve Stanchfield at Thunderbean Animation. The Texaco billboard that features prominently had been scratched out and had to be configured by taking bits and pieces from several frames.
