Billy Hayes falls asleep and dreams he is visiting his hero, Robert L. Ripley, who tells him mostly about fish with a side about dancing mice and two-headed turtles.
Ripley's mechanical droning of facts demonstrates how mad people were to actually see (and hear) the celebrities of their day, even if their fame was due to something having little with how they presented themselves in public. Certainly, he appeared in this series for Warner Brothers' Vitaphone division. Who was going to turn down good money during the Depression.
If Ripley is dull and droning, Hayes isn't much of an improvement.
