Plot summary[]
Franklin D. Roosevelt discussing the CCC.
The animation plays as a comedic advertisement for the CCC. A narrator opens by explaining how the Great Depression has tanked America's economy, leaving millions of Americans homeless and unemployed. However, the CCC is now available to give Americans a chance to make something of their lives.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt then appears to make a statement. He says that with the CCC, the government is both enhancing the value of their natural resources and appeasing a lot of distress. He then explains that it's up to the viewer to change America, otherwise a girl will cry. He concludes by urging the viewer to talk to a congressman and show their support for the CCC.
