This parody of a silent film was made for the El Paso Junior League to promote their Holiday Provisional Bash at the El Paso Club. Using black and white film and intertitles, the parody follows the Rich family's Christmas morning where Rico Rich gives Rhonda Rich the same gift she gets every year - manure. When the couple attends the Jr. League Provisional Bash, a "Eureka!" moment occurs, providing the moral of the story: If you don't want your husband to keep giving you that same old manure every Christmas . . . Come to the Provisional Bash."
