Set during the Prohibition, a wife finds her husband has been drinking and sends him off to be the subject matter of a lecture on the evils of alcohol.
It's generally cute, with some strange movements. I was shown it as an example of a surrealist work, which kind of makes sense with one guy who turns into multiple people and all walk into the bar/soda lounge thing. Also, I didn't know the use of "fruit" to denote homosexuality was around back then. Learn something new everyday! Overall, however, it paints a rather odd picture of alcoholism, and some of the set-ups don't really make sense. It's an amusing little skit, but it's not really that particularly fascinating in very many respects. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.
