Summary

A commercial promoting Sana margarine.

Synopsis

A billposter pastes up new posters advertising film performances. One of the posters displays Mona Lisa, another one King Bluebeard. They fall in love with each other and the king takes Mona Lisa to his castle. Mona Lisa, however, finds out in the kitchen that she cannot prepare any food - there is no fat. In the meantime, eggs, coconut oil and milk rush to a nearby factory where they turn into cubes of the margarine Sana and help Mona Lisa bake a sweet-smelling marble cake and chicken. The king is satisfied. As they finish their meal, they return onto their posters, but this time there is a poster promoting Sana margarine hanging between them. The king rewards Mona Lisa with a royal crown, but she puts it directly on the Sana margarine. The billposter returns and is surprised that the cube of Sana has already received the well-deserved crown.

Note
