Carlton Macy has been going out of business so often he has it chiseled on the building. He's so good at it that he's driving Lita Grey out of her greeting card business. Her solution is to hire entertainers to sing.
In other words, it's an excuse to offer a variety of performers singing and performing a variety of songs, from "Red River Valley" to Warren & Dubin hits. That part is entertaining, but Miss Grey has little emotion in her delivery, although she sings well. So why did they choose her to headline this short? Because she's credited as Lita Grey Chaplin, the erstwhile wife of Charlie Chaplin.
