A cowboy rides across the plains well, no; his horse is just slapping itself with the front hooves. A coyote calls to its mate: “Hey, Mabel, come on out!” A camel contradicts the narrator, saying he’s really thirsty. A wild dog: because of the lumbermen.

The parade is a big success, and the reception promises to be even better. Frankenstein’s monster, Tarzan, Lupe Velez, Shirley Temple, Al Jolson and Bing Crosby are all there to greet Santa.
