Next, the pair sing, Holiday Inn.
With the help of the narrator to move the sstory along, Bing’s ex-partner stumbles in to tell how Lila left him. Will he be trying to steal Dinah away next?. Transitioning into a blackface, minstrel show style, Bing and Dinah sing, Abraham.
With the story little more than Bing and the narrator to introduce the next song, Bing sings, Be Careful with My Heart. As Ted is attempting to steal away Dinah for his new dance partner, Bing and Dinah sing, Easter Parade. Tallent agents hear about the night club idea, and Bing lets them have rights to make the movie. He closes his place down, and mopes at the loss of Dinah. Will he take the advice of his house maid, Maimie? As the film wraps, Bing walks on the set to reprise his opening song with Dinah. He just might also be reprising his role as her fiancee as well
