Not as funny as Reefer Madness, but holds it own with a sleek concise story plot. In the 1930's, cocaine use as headache powders is some what funny by today's standards.Involving a girl and her brother who innocently get involved in it's use, it also shows how things appeared in that era. It does contain pensive moments. The ending is clean to the story line, summing up who some of the other characters are. I would recommend this as a funny gift to some one who would appreciate it's quality of the times or it could be played at a party along with Reefer Madness for some good laughs.
