An aeroplane in the sky writes the word Pongo in large letters. We see reaction shots from members of the public who look up into the sky. A man who is filming a young boy looks up at the skywriting through a telescope at the same time. The aeroplane drops a large box from the sky. It crashes on the ground and Pongo jumps out bowing, pirouetting and looking very pleased with himself. A policeman comes along and says "Where's your Collar?"

The Adventures of Adenoid

The Adventures of Adenoid 1925

It's love among the mice in this very elaborate Paul Terry-Aesops fable silent. There are some nice absurdities to keep it interesting, both in the social assumptions --you can tell the rich mouse, not only because he drives a car, but because he wears a top hat, while the poor mouse (who is, I would guess, Adenoid) wears a straw hat -- and in the venue: the rich mouse takes the lady mouse to a nightclub in a large fish, where an octopus is a one-man band; she is kidnapped by a fish in a fedora and subsequently rescued by the poor mouse.
