They visit a projection room of a film manufacturing company and as the film of a stirring drama is reeled off, they order cuts made in the picture which they consider essential, and the scenes in the picture are shown as originally produced, as they appear when the Bughouser Board is through with them. The original picture was already passed by the National Board of Censors, but Bughouser orders the National Board to be cut, and shows how he would like to do the cutting himself. The last scene shows the gallant Major filling up on his usual favorite food, a large dish of prunes. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
