Looking through the family photo album, the McGee’s get a laugh at the old fashioned styles from their youth. Molly’s 1916 bathing suit, and Fibber in his Army uniform. Wanting a good photo to share with her aunt, Molly can’t find any recent ones. Before they can rush out to have new portraits made, Teeny visits. Has the tiny tot finally lost her appetite? Billy Mills plays a swinging tune to transition.
Downtown, the Old Timer seems worn out. He claims to have been bowling all evening. What is it that peps him up as he dashes off? The photo clerk butters up Molly, before Abigail Uppington emerges from the studio. What’s her latest in high society gossip, and her glamour shots? Harlowe Wilcox turns the topic of photo shoots into a sponsor message.
Even Gildersleeve is ahead of Fibber as he waits in line. The bickering friends let the insults fly. Have they reached the boiling point with their fighting words? The Kingsmen sing, The Tool Song.
