Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Three men (Harry Hilfinger, Robert Davis, and Fred Kautzman) encourage people to follow rules set by the air raid warden in the event of an air raid. It is a parody of the popular song by Tony Pastor and His Orchestra from 1942, and was made as an exercise in DIY sound-on-film filmmaking.
