Max Fleischer News Sketches (ca. 1944 – 1945)

The film features a series of humorous news sketches highlighting quirky and absurd events from around the world. It includes a story about a hurricane disrupting a power plant in Massachusetts, the most expensive kiss involving doves causing a power outage, and a new class at Mundelin College teaching women how to choose a husband. Other sketches cover topics such as a unique mail-in marriage service, a theft of diapers from a nursery, a patented heated overcoat, a radar gadget for fishing, and a humorous take on dealing with sharks. The film ends on a lighter note with anecdotes about a Yale graduate living in a tree and a tribute to a heroic battleship.
