Synopsis

Risque goings-on during an afternoon at a broken-down burlesque show. Many of the gags are very adult. For example, there's the old burlesque staple where the husband says goodbye to his wife five times, and when he leaves, a dozen guys pop out of hiding places and say goodbye back to him.

Production notes

This series of animated cartoons- sometimes including bits of live action- took popular songs of the day and combined the popular "bouncing ball" following the lyrics in an effort for audience singalongs.

Song: "I'm Playing With Fire," Written by Irving Berlin, Performed by the Watson Sisters (Kitty and Fanny)
