This episode of Warner Brothers' series of Robert L. Ripley's newspaper feature come to film would have us believe that Ripley is on a passenger ship, drawing pictures and lecturing his fellow passengers on things like an American flag made out of corn kernels, a hand-operated water pump on the streets of Washington D. C., and the Mosque of Omar in Jerusalem.
What have all of these things got in common? Ripley and his staff decided they were odd enough to entertain his audience. The theory was that at least a couple of the many facts would do so. I can see that, even from my sophisticated, old-man's viewpoint almost a century later.
