The film

A fly carrying a lamp named Joe Glow enters a tent where a caricature of director Charles M. Jones is sleeping. Joe slips and slides all over Jones's face, unable to stay still because of Jones' movements. He accidentally disturbs Jones' sleep with a flashlight before escaping. He then investigates the food in the tent. Having looked everything over, Joe shouts "GOOD NIGHT!" into the man's ear before flying away.
