In this atypical "distract them enough so we'll get their attention to the boring stuff" Jam Handy short, the boring subject of how gasoline and air mix to make cars run is discussed. But first, before we see that, a deep sea diver is shown! He uses air! Then a rather cool experiment is shown with gasoline and fire, something which I'm afraid the kiddies would try at home. Soon after, the process of how gasoline makes cars go is explained. Not too much excitement here. A lot of discussion about 'free air' though, which led me to believe this could be taken as a propaganda film as well.
