Summary:
Dishes come to life
and battle an evil dough-man.
Description:
The title tune is
sung as we peer inside "Ye Olde Bake Shoppe" on a dark and stormy
night. Several kettles begin to whistle in time with the song, as various
plates and silverware swim in the sink. One fork lathers up with soap,
rinses off under a seltzer bottle, and dries himself with a towel. Other
plates are rinsed off by water running through a meat grinder, then dried
by hopping into either a toaster or a waffle iron. We also see an ingenious
fellow who uses a bowl and a mixer to create a motor boat, a duster who
plays a case of silverware like a piano, and a trio of sugar, salt and
pepper shakers who sing in harmony. The stars of our show -- the
lovely dish and her spoony suitor -- finally appear, wooing each other
to the tune of "Shuffle Off to Buffalo". They envision a possible
visit from the stork (in the form of a crying baby spoon), after which
the spoon taps around a bit, blows the whistle on a tea kettle, then bangs
on some pots and glasses in a percussion performance. A chorus line of
teacups dance by, then form a train with a kettle as the engine. The spoon
begins to drum in Indian beats, prompting a feather duster to perform
a war dance. A cut of Swiss cheese yodels, a bottle of bluing sings "Am
I Blue", and a potato cries through its many eyes. An egg dances
out of its carton but slips on some lard, sliding off a table and cracking
open to reveal a baby chick, who treats us to his rendition of "Young
and Healthy". The villain's appearance is long overdue by this time,
but the wait comes to an end when a pile of dough comes to life. The dough
dances around a bit at first, but soon comes across a package of yeast.
The misshapen creature dissolves the yeast in water and gulps it down.
He begins to grow larger, and, for whatever reason, becomes evil. The
horrible dough-man slowly sneaks up on the dish as she's dancing with
her friends. Everyone else notices the dough-man and runs away, leaving
the poor dish to be kidnapped! Her beloved spoon hears her cries for help,
and uses a spatula to launch cans at the hulking monster. Everyone else
joins in the battle, including graters who run between the dough-man's
legs, a duster who shoots popcorn like a machine gun, and two spoons who
flatten the beast with a rolling pin. The dough-man is sucked through
an electric fan, then shot out in pieces into various baking molds, including
a waffle iron. The victorious spoon stands atop the iron, as his sweetheart
and their friends cheer the dough-man's defeat.
