...even funnier than he was in Of Thee I Sing. Dictator Wintergreen promises everybody cake when he gets to the Blue House. His successor promises caviar. When the counterrevolution takes place, Funnyman Moore saves himself from being guillotined and becomes President of the U. S. He promises pistachio ice cream...
