Smith’s third feature film was originally titled “The Kidnapping of Wendell Willkie by the Love Bandit,” in reaction to the 1968 Presidential Campaign. It mixes B&W footage of Smith’s creatures with old campaign footage of Willkie, a liberal Republican who ran against FDR in the 1940’s. The climax of the work appears to be the “auctioning” of the presidential candidate at a convention.
