The film was for the Associated General Contractors of America. The odd title refers to the Construction Contractor (the General) who runs the project and marshals an army of construction workers to build buildings, bridges, roads, etc. and has a 'cockeyed' super ego (id). The film is noteworthy for a lengthy score from the famous film composer Jerry Goldsmith. The music is suitably militaristic for the most part but expands into comedy for the animated sequences as well as light period pop and at times a certain sensitivity as well as reverence for the incredible structures these individuals create.
