First-rate Produced in Cinecolor by Ub Iwerks, this is a very entertaining cartoon subject packing a lot of novelty and comedy in its brief span. Don is first depicted in a looney asylum reading a tale of when knights were bold and fought for ladies in distress. Fleeing the bughouse with the keeper in pursuit, Quixote lands in a junk wagon loaded with armor and drawn by a sorry nag. Thus equipped Don starts out on his adventures which include a tilt with a windmill and an encounter with a steam shovel which to him becomes a dragon breathing fire. The short is smartly conceived, brilliantly executed and has an amusing windup.
