Draftee Porky shows "America's Defense Effort," a war news­reel full of mil­i­tary secrets. This car­toon ral­lies Amer­i­can pub­lic sup­port for the war pro­duc­tion of tanks, planes and big guns. It pro­motes the draft while slam­ming anti-draft pol­i­tics. It men­tions British Spit­fire air­craft, but also the impor­tance of Amer­i­can design improve­ments to it. A polit­i­cally incor­rect scene shows a dri­ver in black­face who speaks in a stereo­typed man­ner. The car­toon strongly sug­gests that the United States main­land is threat­ened with direct attack. Sev­eral scenes show 1941 news­pa­per head­lines, includ­ing one about a strike at the Ford Motor Company's plant in Dear­born, Michigan.
