A suitor with dog ears and a cat tail throws a rose to his girl on a balcony. She throws it back to him, and the rose kisses him, as she would. His guitar playing forms a stair of notes, and she descends from her balcony. The bouncing ball bounces over white doves on black, then over the words of the song. A Bimbo-like dog walks a plank, and sinks into the sea. He pursues a mermaid, then becomes a merman. He is swallowed by a big fish, which is swallowed by a bigger fish.
