A clever short combining the little cutout cartoon of Colonel Heeza Liar with actual photographs of the artist and the staff of the art department. The Colonel hears the boys reading about a desert island that contains treasure and gets himself radioed to the nearest ship from which he sails to the island in a bottle. The cannibal chief tries very hard to cook him but the Colonel escapes and dives off a cliff only to be swallowed by a fish which after a supposed lapse of time is caught by the artist and his friend who are on a vacation. They are much surprised to see the Colonel and hear about his adventures.

At the start, a little animated figure, the "Radio Bug," in a display window is shown attacking passersby. He stings a small boy severely, the doctor examines the patient and leaves directions which the family discover prescribe a radio outfit. Once it is set up, it becomes the center of the family entertainment. The remainder of the reel takes us to the broadcasting station (Westinghouse, N. J.) where we are shown the antennae from which are sent out waves. Sounds at the sending station cause modulations of the radio waves. These in turn are detected by the radio receiver, and translated by a "detector," which reproduces waves exactly like those of the sending station.
