This is Cab Calloway's second non-animation theatrical appearance. During this era, in addition to being featured in three Betty Boop cartoons, Calloway was frequently caricatured in animation by most studios, most prominently WBs and MGM.
In this short film, Cab Calloway plays a ladies man who dates the wife of a train porter who is frequently absent from home. Calloway and his Orchestra perform "Zaz-zuh-zaz" and "The Lady with the Fan" at the Cotton Club in Harlem.
