He builds an airplane with an old barrel and a sandwich man's sign boards and starts out to win the prize. He gets stuck in a cloud and to escape he lets out the water from the cloud. A bird pecks at him and he falls out of the plane, landing on a cloud shaped like a horse. Riding on the cloud-horse, he overtakes his airplane and continues the journey. A storm forces him down and he dives to the bottom the sea. When he runs through a traffic signal he is pursued by the fish police. Arriving at his destination he lands in what looks like a peaceful valley and all the rocks and trees turn into ferocious wild animals. Felix leaves hurriedly and runs right into a group of cannibals waiting for their lunch. When they chase him, he strips off the hide of an elephant, blows it up and, using it as a baloon, makes his escape. Like all Felix comedies, this film is full of laughs. 1 Reel.

Her time is taken up studying a book on "How to Become a Vamp." She practices her vamping on a hat tree and is so successful that she decides to leave for Hollywood. Felix runs after the train but misses it. Realizing that he must stop the girl at all costs, he gets in a barrel right behind a mule and pulls the animal's tail. He is kicked clean to Hollywood. Thousands of girls rush from the train to the studio and are thrown out by the casting director. But the cook makes a good impression and the director gives her a screen test. While the pictures are being taken, Felix turns the reel around and puts a distorting lens in front of the camera. In the projecting room the screen tests prove to be a failure and the cook is rejected. She and Felix walk to the farm. Here the Cat tries to comfort her by pointing to a sign on the wall reading "There's No Place Like Home." An excellent cartoon comedy. 1 Reel. Brighten Your Parties With Motion Picture Shows
