- All summer, the grasshopper sings and plays music with friends. Meanwhile, the ant works hard collecting food and building a shelter. The grasshopper makes fun of the ant's efforts, but when winter comes, things are much different.
- A Christmas ornament comes alive and goes to a forest where he creates and decorates a Christmas tree for the forest creatures. He then invites all the insects to come and enjoy the gifts he has prepared and to celebrate Christmas.
- An artist draws a dog who comes to life and eats a plate of sausages.
- Old Doc Yak in his time has experienced many vicissitudes in his precarious practice. The collection of bills has caused him more annoyances, more funny falls and more amusing contretemps, than almost any creation in the domain of cartoon. He has met all forms of man and beast that the broad empire of the world could furnish. He has butted in into all sorts of predicaments and happily has the faculty of butting out, so that although jarred by many falls, he usually lands right side up, merely seeing stars does not disconcert him. This new adventure is with the children's favorite, Santa Clans. Doc Yak has been "done" so much and so often, that he feels gifts are due him. How he "gets his," is an amusing and ingenious story of this popular Christmas offering from the crayon of Sidney Smith.
- Colonel Heeza Liar goes to Africa hoping to outdo Teddy Roosevelt; there he encounters various jungle animals.
- Without doubt the cleverest film of drawings ever made. From one dazzling and mystifying transformation to another these drawings jump. A dog becomes a man. A beautiful flower is evolved from George Washington's portrait. There are many little humorous touches interspersed in this reel and the quick exchanges from the ridiculous to the sublime are bound to keep audiences in a continual roar. Again very many beautiful scenes of New York's waterfront and view of interest throughout the country are flashed, only to resolve themselves into some astonishing shape or form. From the flash of a gun we see a canoe floating peacefully down the water and this disappears to he replaced by a single line, which forms itself into a beautiful prism and then gives way to something equally as startling.
- Sidney Smith, the artist, incurs the displeasure of the Sunday Editor by his oft-repeated failure to report at the art room on time. A moving picture producer one morning applies for, and obtains, permission from the newspaper to reproduce in animated form their comic supplement character, "Old Doc Yak," The producer's requirements call for one thousand separate, carefully prepared original drawings from the pen of Artist Smith before noon of that day. The Sunday Editor rushes to the art room, but Smith has not shown up that morning. Along about noon the artist comes sauntering in very leisurely. The Sunday Editor, peeved at Smith's seeming indifference to newspaper office discipline, tells him of the work before him and that one thousand drawings must be absolutely finished inside of an hour. Smith offers to bet $50 that he can accomplish the task. The Editor bets him that he can't and the stakes are placed in the hands of another artist. Then we see a close-up view of Smith's hand as it rapidly draws and inks in a face of the ever laughable goat. This face then comes to life and its contortions are wonderfully amusing, Next he draws a scene showing "Doc" standing in a room looking intently at a bee. The drawing suddenly comes to life and the antics of the pair are truly funny. Another scene shows an enlarged view of "Doc's" face after it has been stung by the bee. This and many other amusing and novel scenes are climaxed by the unique illusion which is secured in the finis piece. Needless to say, Smith wins his bet and the art room takes a vacation for the afternoon, while the money is spent.
