Jour de fête

In Jour de Fête, an easily distracted French postman neglects his duties to converse with townspeople and explore the fair that has arrived in his small community. Inspired by wine and a newsreel showcasing rapid American postal methods, he attempts increasingly comical ways to accelerate mail delivery while riding his bicycle.
