An absolutely nervous and stuttering Vitaphone representative is the host of this film. Believe me, we're just as uncomfortable as he is while watching this. He does try to introduce the new Vitaphone system for recording sound for motion pictures, but fails spectacularly. Oh well, we DO get a fabulous performance of the forgotten vaudeville duo Witt and Berg though,
