Synopsis
Early Vitaphone-Warner Bros. short film introduced as part of the Vitaphone Varieties series featuring Jack Buchanan who announces to the audience that he will be replacing a member of the Glee Quartet though he has had little time to rehearse. He doesn't know the lyrics, any of the coordinated movements and is generally out of sync with the others to the point of losing his shoes.

This six minute comedy short consists of a parody of a vocal quartet performance gone wrong. Jack Buchanan is perhaps best known these days for his role in the 1953 film The Band Wagon.
