Going to Congress

Satire on the epic Western 'The Covered Wagon (1923)'.

This two-reel comedy was the second of three shorts in which Will Rogers starred as Congressman Alfalfa Doolittle, a naive and unsophisticated but basically good-hearted guy from the heartland who finds himself rubbing elbows with Washington power brokers.

Jimmy Jump appears as a female impersonator in an amateur show who is forced to wear his costume home. He meets with varied experiences, and is such an attractive looking "woman" that the men all want to make dates with him.
