Delighted with Ukifune’s screenplay, Pim and Bim had the movie done in no time. Because his head was the same height as that of a man on a horse, and because he moved as fast as a man on a horse, it made sense to have Clive play every role in the movie.

Ukifune had just completed the screenplay for a Western. It concerned a community who vanquishes a heinous band of ne’er-do-wells through their collective virtue, unflagging tenacity, and steadfast faith in a higher power.

Uninclined to dawdle on new projects, Pim and Bim immediately advertised for auditions. Even they were astonished at how quickly the first applicant materialized.

So dire was the situation that the Well-Dressed Albatross mortgaged the Teatro Morelos to finance an independent movie. This would rescue Brad from a film threatening grievous harm and deliver him to one promising joyous liberty. That was the plan anyway.

As the movie mysteriously returned to the screen, the Well-Dressed Albatross gazed in horror at Brad’s fate.

As the Teatro had emptied out and the movie was unpleasant, Brad shut the projector off. This caused the celluloid to melt and in trying to fix the problem Brad was absorbed into the movie.

Minutes into the movie children began crying and adults began screaming and everyone fled the Teatro. Everyone that is but the Well-Dressed Albatross, who awoke to an empty theatre half-way through.

Brad returned to Quanahuac with a copy of ‘The Cameraman’s Revenge’ by Władysław Starewicz (subtitled in Polish), a movie Pim and Bim assured him would go over well with audiences as it was a particular favourite of theirs.

Brad found a store that sold old movies and that was being managed by Pim and Bim (who are so eager to try new things that, really, you might find them doing almost anything).

Having no films to show at the Teatro Morelos, Brad made his way to Mexico City to acquire some. Thankfully the journey passed without incident.
