Destitute and looking for a fast buck, Heckle and Jeckle construct a Magic Telegraph Box that "will telegraph PEOPLE instead of MESSAGES" and test it out by "telegraphing" Heckle to China, where he returns with chop suey as proof of his journey. They mass-produce the boxes and make a fortune off of the multitudes who wish to travel rapidly and cheaply. The inevitable flaws in the Magpies' plans soon reveal themselves, leaving them as broke as they began the story.
