In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Not much happens in this short, 24 second-long, animation. The introduction reads: "Teddy's arrival caused some commotion in the Jungle..." This cuts to a scene of various animals up in a tree, and a monkey standing below, looking off into the distance. As the dot on the horizon comes closer, the monkey realizes who the person is, panics, and runs up the tree to join the other animals. Then the person gets closer and is revealed to be a caricature of Teddy Roosevelt, with rifle in hand. That's it.About the only interesting part of the animation is the caricature, which looks much like others of TR.
