- One of the entries of shorts in the Nu-Atlas series that used a vaudeville skit as the premise of a story to weave in and around lots of no-name singers, dancers and novelty acts.

Flippen) is the master of ceremonies on an ocean liner introducing the various acts, including Mae McKim and Her Three Boys Friends, and McGurn's Twelve Tars from the stage show "I'd Rather Be Right."

- A musical short with a Latin flavor that begins with the reckless-abandon adagio dancing of the Mia Miles Foursome, with Miss Miles being the tossee. Luba Malina acts as mistress-of-ceremonies with her characteristic vivacity and sings her popular number "Si Si," Jan Peerce, featured tenor at the Radio City Music Hall and who appeared on the Carnegie Hall program, conducted by Toscanini, and with Kirsten Flagstad at the Metropolitan, renders two songs. The finale finds The Dancapators of "I'd Rather Be Right," the Cohan stage success, interpreting a Spanish dance in swift-stepping rhythm.
- Dona Drake (as Rita Rio) and her all-girl band work in a ritzy setting, and perform some hot melodies, with Rita singing and dancing.

The finales has Rita in combination with Anita Jacobi, an acrobatic tap dancer.

- Using the backdrop and excitement of a local carnival, this soundie short features four different and unique acts, from the fast talking carnival barker (Clyde Hager) and the singing of Jon Peerce to the great jazz music of the Cotton Club Tramp Band and a tap dance routine performed by Three DeLovelies.
