Very nicely animated cartoon about Joe, king of the workers, who gets paid more then other workers in other lands, can make his dollar stretch more, and have more leisure time! Not like those darn coolies in China! I liked the silly jokes and the characterization (except the racism) in this one. The story of how you should be proud to be an American is a bit pompous, but it's fun. Reccomended!
