Synopsis

This film is a compilation of acts from several different burlesque shows and begins with a comedy routine in which two men argue over who will pay the check at a restaurant. This is followed by the appearance onstage of a female announcer, who introduces Honey Alden, the first in a series of strip tease dance acts. Between dances, female dancers and male comedians perform comedy sketches together. In one sketch an Army private embarrasses a fellow soldier by pretending that a love letter written by the soldier's girlfriend was actually intended for the private. The last dance is followed by a group of caped dancers parading onstage while a song is sung. The show closes with a comedy routine in which two stage workers try to sell souvenirs to the audience.
