NARRATOR
While in office as President of The Puppeteers of America, Jim Henson signed legislation to liberate the Inkspots, defended the right to bear arm-rods, instituted the 30-minute work week, ended the war on Suggs, and had the entire country raised about six feet above the ground so the puppeteers could stand.
We see images of Jim Henson standing in front of American flags as Sam the Eagle cries tears of patriotic pride.
