[edit] Synopsis
The cartoon opens with a cat who resembles a Fats Waller caricature going out for a night on the town. He is about to go into a club when a street preacher warns him that he will be tempted with "wine, women and song" if he goes in. This, however, only excites the cat who immediately runs in. At first, he enjoys the club, but he becomes so immersed in the music that he is carried away into a world very similar to Wackyland from "Porky in Wackyland". This world frightens him so much that, when he wakes up, he gives up his partying ways and joins the relgious music group singing outside, much to their surprise.
