Three's a Crowd (1932)

In the cozy warmth of a flickering hearth, an elderly man immerses himself in the bewitching pages of 'Alice in Wonderland'. As the clock solemnly chimes eight, he retires to his bed, leaving behind the enchanting world of his book. But the magic is only beginning. From the literary labyrinth emerges Alice, who, with a mischievous spark, tunes the radio to a song that echoes the film's title. The melody stirs Rip Van Winkle from his slumber, and soon, the gallant Three Musketeers join the nocturnal symphony with a harmonious tune. As the radio dial turns, history unfolds. The haunting melody of Nero's fiddle resonates as Rome succumbs to flames, while Cleopatra entrances with her sultry dance. The air is filled with the poignant spirituals of Uncle Tom when the sinister Mr. Hyde skulks into the scene, spiriting Alice away into the darkness. A call to arms is answered by the jungle's king, Tarzan, who, with a motley crew of valiant characters, launches a daring rescue mission. Arming themselves with everyday office supplies, they transform pen points into piercing spears, matches into flaming arrows, and a fountain pen into a formidable weapon. Their courageous battle culminates in their capture of the wicked Mr. Hyde, who they confine to a box and carry off, restoring peace to their nocturnal adventures.
