The film itself is entirely in song, and begins with a woman being awakened by a masked man taking her to the 1956 General Motors Motorama, where she is introduced to several GM car brands, including Buick, Chevrolet Corvette, and Cadillac. She is then whisked into the "kitchen of the future", loaded to the brim with futuristic (and implausible) appliances, destined to simplify the day for the housewife-of-the-future. Gamboling about and camping it up will apparently be the order of the day with the kitchen of the future.

(Why is there a kitchen-of-the-future segment in a short about cars? Because Frigidaire appliances was a division of GM at the time.)
