AN ARTIST'S DRAWING BOARD SHOWS HOW A LITTLE BOY WHO IS UNTIDY, ILL-MANNERED, & SELFISH IS TURNED INTO A PIG UNTIL HIS "GOODSELF" CONQUERS HIS "BADSELF" MOSTLY UNANIMATED DRAWINGS, SHORT LIVE ACTION SEGMENT, "HUMAN DOMINO" WITH FOOTBALL PLAYERS.

Ken Smith checks in and sez: Much less than you'd expect. This film is nothing but a series of still, sketchy pencil drawings, one every five or ten seconds, shot with an optical printer. The story is fun: a little boy, obeying his evil conscience (and ignoring his good one), becomes increasingly ill-mannered and, as a consequence, slowly transforms into a pig. But a film of sketchy pencil stills? You might as well read a book.

child's messy room.
"Johnny's a terribly untidy little boy. Did you ever see such an untidy room? His mother has asked him so many times to hang up his clothes and put away his toys. And like all little boys, he had a good self who told him the things to do. And he knew he should hang up his pajamas."
Johnny's bad self says "Don't be a sissy."
the little boy gradually turns partly into a pig
he becomes a bad sport; an elaborate story of a boy who turns into a pig because he's afraid of being a sissy.
