Janet Reade and Olive Borden trade quips as saloon girls, while the patrons snipe at the piano player, and everyone sings a song or six in this Vitaphone short. The women fight over Paul Keast, a fight that continues over thirty years and roves from the old west to a modern Broadway leg show in a beauty parlor.
A paper-thin and nonsensical plot connects the two eras, and if you don't take any of it seriously, you should enjoy this short, as well as the decent, if totally unremarkable songs, old and new, that are showcased in this one. Miss Reade is an attractive blonde here, with the brassy voice that stage performers cultivated during Musical theater's heyday.
