Rich Mr Dry-Bone and poor Anancy are rival suitors for the hand of Miss Louise - who has vowed only to marry a man who can make her laugh. Mr Dry-Bone hopes to woo her with extravagant conjuring tricks, but t hese are no match for Anancy who pieces together an extraordinary outfit with borrowed items from his friends: Tiger, Dog, Alligator, Monkey and Parrot.
