Johnny at the Fair

A man, his wife, and their boy are visiting the Canadian National Exhibit. The boy wanders off and runs into a bunch of celebrities including Olson & Johnson and Joe Louis.

It's the sort of short subject that Mystery Science Theater 3000 likes to make fun of, and indeed, it has, with many cynical comments. What modern people don't understand is that those were, for many Americans, more innocent times. People didn't worry about crazy people lurking around, waiting to snatch their children off the street. Now we do, even though the number of incidents hasn't changed much; if your child is kidnapped, chances are it isn't a sex trafficker, but your divorced spouse.
