Here's a collection of minimally animated topical one-liners about current events, with gags about the soon-to-go-into-effect Prohibition of alcohol, political instability in Germany and Communist revolution in Russia. There's a dry observation that accompanies an illustration; it stays on the screen long enough for the audience to read and laugh; and then the next witticism appears with a new illustration.
It's comforting to realize that just about all of the terrible problems and snide observations made in this century-old cartoon are now so obscure that you have to be something of an historian to even understand what people were getting upset about. I'm sure my grandfather, who was worried about what sort of a world my two-year-old father would grow up in, was terribly concerned. Perhaps in 2119 my surviving family members will look back with similar aplomb.
The Internet is unable to offer any information about the creator of this cartoon other than the information on the IMDb.
