[3] Porky Pig (voiced by Mel Blanc) attempts to learn the Pledge of Allegiance but becomes bored and falls asleep.

In his dream, Uncle Sam (voiced by John Deering) comes to life and teaches Porky about history from Colonial America through the midnight ride of Paul Revere (voiced by Tedd Pierce) and the American Revolutionary War to the expansion of the American Old West, briefly alluding to Abraham Lincoln.

Upon awakening, Porky snaps into a salute and recites the pledge as the Flag of the United States waves overhead.

Director Chuck Jones was known for his Disney-like style during this period, and Schlesinger assigned him to make this cartoon for that reason.

On account of the lack of air conditioning at the studio, the production staff initially relied on two large fans to keep cool.

It is also Porky's first appearance in a color Merrie Melodies entry since his debut in I Haven't Got a Hat (1935), and his first short in three-strip Technicolor.
