So This Is Washington

Trying to do his patriotic duty, store owner Abner (Norris Goff) develops a new formula for a rubber compound. He presents his findings to his friend Lum (Chester Lauck), and they decide the discovery must be presented to the nation's leaders. So they leave their little Arkansas town for Washington, D.C. Once they arrive, they find that common sense is in short supply among politicians, though Civilian Aid office head Chester Marshall (Alan Mowbray) does find their invention intriguing.
