Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for anyone who wants a laugh and anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. Low effort, high reward: just press play.
The mood
Light and funny, feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 6 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Made in 1919: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Prohibition has just gone into effect, and Judge Rummy's wife eagerly throws away all of the Judge's liquor. She also plans to have a temperance lecturer use him as an example of the evils of drink. While waiting for the lecturer, Judge Rummy notices that Silk Hat Harry's Soda Fountain is remarkably popular, so he stops in to see what it's all about. He finds out that Harry has developed a substitute for alcoholic drinks, and that Harry's substitute can have quite an effect on those who drink it.
