Plot
The plot concerns a village of Russian Gypsies, led by a caricature of jazz bandleader Paul Whiteman, generally singing, dancing and whooping it up, including a quartet of men who gurgle beer to the tune of "The Song of the Volga Boatmen". When the mad monk Rice-Puddin' (a caricature of Grigori Rasputin) casts his eye on one of the apparently underage girls in the village and has her abducted in an attempt to force himself upon her, the villagers revolt and rescue the girl and give Rice-Puddin' just due.
