Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Correspondence-school musical prodigy Porky Pig applies for the job of orchestra leader at Hollywood's famed Crocadero nightclub. Instead, he winds up washing dishes, only to be summarily fired by his walrus boss. But when the regular musicians fail to show up in time, Porky is given the chance of a lifetime. In the course of a mere six minutes, the versatile Pig imitates such musical luminaries as Paul Whiteman, Benny Goodman, Leopold Stokowski, Rudy Vallee, Guy Lombardo and Cab Calloway! Songs include "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree", "Summer Nights" and "Chinatown"
