Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Plymouth, England, 1620: Captain Porky Pig loads a bunch of weird-looking Pilgrims into the "Mayflower" and sets sail for the New World. Judging by the airplanes in the sky, the presence of the Statue of Liberty (still an infant!), the Native American reporters who snap pictures of Porky as he descends the gangplank, and the inevitable "Eat at Joe's" banner, this World may be a whole lot "Newer" than we think. A running gag involving the Mayflower's ever-grinning black cook has been excised from a number of contemporary prints.
