Wacky Festivals Dept.: Newsreel clip of a 50s frog-jumping contest in honor of the 100th anniversary of Mark Twains story about the Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. This is just weird enough to be somewhat interesting. Theres nothing more heartwarming than a boy and his frog. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ***. Weirdness: ***. Historical Interest: ***. Overall Rating: ***.
