What happens

Aviation Vacation is a 1941 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies theatrical short directed by Tex Avery, with story by Dave Monahan and musical direction by Carl W. Stalling. The cartoon was released on August 2, 1941. This is one of the cartoons that Warner would occasionally produce that featured none of its stable of characters, just a series of gags, usually based on outrageous stereotypes and plays on words, as a narrator (voiced by Robert C. Bruce) describes the action. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
