Fleisher 0.316666666666667 Color 1936

Humpty Dumpty- seen here as a greedy and abusive monarch- wants to acquire the gold from the sun. He forces his subjects to build his palace's golden walls higher, so that he can reach the sun. When they do reach the sun, King Humpty tries crack it open with his battle ax. He is overcome by sun's awesome power. The walls of his palace and the castle itself are destroyed and the miserable monarch is sent crashing to the ground, a heap of broken egg shells and a busted crown.
