Title
Soda Squirt
Description
Flip celebrates the grand opening of his new drug store, and a variety of Hollywood celebrities attend.
Among those in attendance is a queer coded pansy character, who, after being given a dangerous and undrinkable concoction instead of a chocolate soda, transforms into a monstrous creature who starts destroying the drug store. It isn’t until he is sprayed with a “pansy” spray (a reference to the Pansy Craze that occurred during this period) that he returns to his effeminate state.
