A Kewpie-Doll-looking Uncle Sam with a hint of an old man's rasp in his voice exhorts the wartime audience to turn in old junk for recycling in this candybox-style short cartoon from Ted Eshbaugh's studio.

Eshbaugh was one of the talented leaders in the animation industry who seemed to wander in and out of production from about 1930 through the 1940s. Making his mark initially with the striking GOOFY GOAT ANTICS, he tried to set up a studio in the midst of the Depression and never seemed to have achieved any sort of regular distribution: a few releases through RKO via their Van Beuren contract, a couple of wartime contracts like this and three or four titles that indicate that he was a man who knew how to animate, knew where to get animators and staff and could turn out a good cartoon when he could get a contract. As a result, he seems to have worked in industrial films, a steadier, if today less prestigious branch of animation than theatrical release.
