dimensional sets to explain how coffee is grown, harvested, roasted, and packed in vacuum
cans to retain flavor. NOTE: Also distributed in 16mm. Written and supervised by National
Tie-Ins Inc. (from Business Screen review).

Subject: Watch Out for the tiny spiders!
A bit of a never ending moving about a boy who wants to marry a girl, but the girl's father, an owner of a coffee company, doesn't like the boy's chosen profession… Puppetry!! To convince the father, a boy puts on a puppet show about the history of coffee and how it's made!! As looney as that sounds, it gets boring quite quickly with never-ending gabathons. It does get a little surreal in the end though.
