The film tells the true and tragic tale of Old Bet, the first circus elephant in America, as recounted in song by her friend, the old farm dog. Their story is told in colorful, handcrafted claymation, where oil-based modeling clay is spread thinly on a glass sheet and moved frame-by-frame. Music written by Sam Saper.
