In this silent cartoon, Felix endeavours to transform a ‘homely dame’ into a glamorous Hollywood starlet, using nature’s treasures. As an underwater appointment with the Mother of Pearl and a subsequent hunt for a fur coat both turn hazardous, Felix is forced to rely on the animator’s hand to get him out of trouble.
