Taming of the Black GiantSummary
A cartoon advertisement for Saponia, turpentine-soap.
Synopsis
An evil black giant, living in a castle, soils everything as he moves. One day, he sets off to his neighbourhood and breathes out black dust and dirt on all the houses. He messes up a housewife's freshly washed and ironed laundry, and even the dog in its kennel is not left clean. He then lifts a little boy and a girl to his height and blows them away with a cloud of black dust. The falling children are then caught by a stork. As soon as the bird realizes how dirty the children are, it summons the armed army of Saponia turpentine soaps to help him. The soaps liquidate the dirt. Everything is clean again and the soaps set off to the black giant's castle. They clean it up and the giant, symbolizing the dirt, dissolves in soap bubbles.
