C/U of Poy looking through a magazine: "The Pathe Messenger." He puts it down and looks at the camera and sighs. Through stop frame animation we see his drawing take shape.

Six of the original Poy cartoons (framed) are to be awarded as consolation prizes. "Full details on a Poster at this Theatre."
