The sculptor's nightmare
"This comedy is primarily a political satire, and the first scene takes place in a political club where the members are trying to agree on whose bust will replace the one they have of Teddy Roosevelt. Unable to agree, all go to a sculptor's studio, where each bribes the artist to sculpt a bust of his favorite. Instead, the sculptor takes his model to dinner and becomes so inebriated that he is taken off to jail, where he has a nightmare. Three pedestals, each with a pile of sculptor's clay, appear, and, by the use of stop-action photography, the clay turns into excellent likenesses of Bryan, Fairbanks, and Taft. Each becomes animated, and one smokes a cigar. The last scene shows another pedestal with clay, out of which comes an animated bust of Teddy Roosevelt, complete with pince-nez"--Early motion pictures / Kemp R. Niver.

- "At a political club, the members debate whose bust will replace that of Theodore Roosevelt. Unable to agree, each goes to a sculptor's studio and bribes him to sculpt a bust of the individual favorite. Instead, the sculptor spends their fees on a dinner with his model during which he becomes so inebriated that he is taken to jail. There he has a nightmare, wherein three busts are created and animated from clay (through stop-motion photography) in the likenesses of Democrat William Jennings Bryan and Republicans Charles W. Fairbanks and William Howard Taft. Finally an animated bust of Roosevelt appears."
