The story

Master of ceremonies Eddie Garr delivers a monologue about Hollywood locals trying to impress movie producers. He introduces a lineup of dancers, harmonica players, a dog act, a comic adagio act, acrobats, jugglers and cyclists. Guest stars are spotted between the acts: Jackie Coogan lampoons his 1921 breakthrough role as "The Kid," with Eddie Garr imitating Charlie Chaplin; Eddie Dean offers a cowboy song and engages Garr and Coogan in comic patter; Tom Neal and Iris Adrian, both featured in Lippert productions, perform a flirtation act and Lyle Talbot appears in a sketch with burlesque veterans Jean Carroll and Harry Rose.
