Synopsis
This film is a record of a burlesque show featuring strip tease dancer Val De Val. To begin the show, an onstage announcer sings while the entire cast of women dance, followed by a strip tease dance performed to musical accompaniment by a woman with maracas. Between dances, the female dancers and male comedians perform comedy sketches together. In one sketch, a sick man checks himself into a rest home but cannot recuperate because of the doctor's military-like treatment, the other patients' crazy antics and the nurse's provocations. The last comedy routine is followed by the announcer singing another melody and an introduction of each "lady" in the cast. The show closes with a dance performed by Val De Val.
