    By 1957, Columbia's short-subject department was dwindling down fast. Because the Stooges were fired from the studio around this time, Jules White was desperate to create a new series of two-reel comedies called The Girlie Whirls featuring the duo of Muriel Landers and Bek Nelson. The debut entry for this series was so badly panned that Columbia pulled the plug on it.

    Muriel and Bek are nightclub performers who are mistaken as enemy agents by a pair of FBI men. Because the two women are smitten with them, they constantly stir up trouble to keep them around. Even Columbia supporting players Dick Wessel and Benny Rubin can't even save this mess.
