Men with bowler hats eat at a table in a restaurant and a man yawns and sits at a chair. The narrator introduces the next clip, which is an animation predating Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse and the like. A simple animation is displayed with a drawn man sleeping in a chair and nodding his head while women play violins in clouds above him. Surrealist shapes and occurrences commence. The man moves around, a finger pushes on his head, a hand moves him about. He looks at a circle and it shows various words such as “vino, wine, lighthouse, alcohol, absinthe.” The restaurant is briefly shown again and “The End” is shown.
