Scattergood Baines, Coldriver's most popular citizen, neighborly counselor and sly old fox, entices a Broadway producer to Coldriver to see the gay musical extravaganza Baines is staging for the benefit of the U.S.O. He is also promoting the singing career of his latest local protégé, Betty Palmer. There are a few problems but the Sage of Coldriver manages to keep pulling the right strings.

At 50:03, the Johnson Brothers, Duke Johnson and Harry Johnson, perform their juggling act for 2 minutes 20 seconds. They start with a comedy bit having each juggling 3 clubs. They then do run-arounds with 3 clubs and a hat. Then back to comedy with 3 hats each, followed by passing 6 hats. Then many variations with 5 hats. Finally, they then do some fast 6 club passing.
