Summary:
A young Indian couple
sing the praises of Crosby, Columbo, and Vallee, then help save baby birds
from a fire.
Description:
An Indian tribe, performing
a war dance, sings the title tune about the "paleface enemies"
whose crooning have stolen their women's hearts: Bing Crosby, Russ Columbo,
and Rudy Vallee. Meanwhile, a young Indian brave is cheerfully canoeing
down river, hopping off momentarily to bounce on some flowers. After riding
through some rapids, the brave comes ashore near a teepee. He calls for
his sweetheart --"Minniehahah!" -- who comes out only after
the brave displays his radio. They skip over to some rocks near a waterfall,
where the young brave hands his sweetie a tree-turned-umbrella to protect
her from the spray of the waterfall nearby. The brave uses a spider to
provide electricity for his radio, and tunes to the melody of the title
song. His sweetie begins singing, pausing to hear Bing Crosby's "Many
Happy Returns of the Day" [LT&MM]
coming from the waterfall. The happy couple dance and finish the tune
to the applause of the forest creatures. Next, a bear does his impression
of Rudy Vallee's "This Is My Love Song" [LT&MM], and also receives appreciative
applause. The Indian couple then reprise the title tune, and begin dancing
with a group of other native youngsters. The dancing is so infectious
that the campfire soon begins to dance as well, complete with a group
of little flames dancing around it. But the flames soon run off, setting
one tree on fire and leaving it behind with only its underwear. They set
another tree ablaze, leaving three baby birds in their nest crying "Help!",
"Fire!" and "Save Me!" in succession. The young brave
hears them and rings a tulip to summon some bees, who proceed to grab
a spider web and fly it towards the terrified birds. The flames burn the
young brave's bottom as he leads the bees towards the birds, but that
doesn't stop him. The web arrives and the birds leap onto it, but one
flame runs under the web and burns the birds' feathers off, leaving them
bald. The brave spits the flame out, and smiles happily as we iris out.
