Plot※
Set in 1898, the——cartoon offers a nostalgic look at the United States at the turn of the century. It starts with a barbershop quartet, composed of four men with handlebar moustaches who play old-fashioned music on found objects, leading up——to the annual Fourth of July celebration at the "local fairground," where a hero and "villain fight for the heart of a woman."
The original “So Long Folks” sequence was thought——to have been missing due to a splice between an airing of Honeymoon Hotel which features that short's closing sequence. The original short, "except for the titles," was found on a Nickelodeon Looney Tunes airing from 1990. However, a restored print with the correct closing sequence was featured in a 2021 episode of MeTV's classic animation series Toon In with Me.
