Mickey Mouse hosts an amateur radio talent show in front of a live audience, in which he terminates unworthy performances by ringing a
gong. After ending
Pete's rendition of "
Asleep in the Deep", Mickey introduces Donald Duck, who tries reciting "
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", but forgets the words. Mickey rings the gong, and Donald is pulled backstage.
Clara Cluck performs the show's next set with a clucking version of the
Luigi Arditi waltz "Il Bacio", accompanied by
Clarabelle Cow on piano. Despite several blunders, the performance is the first to avoid the gong. Later, Donald returns to the stage with a submachine gun and tries reciting "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" while holding Mickey and the audience at gunpoint, but he once again forgets the words. When the audience laughs at him, he opens fire and is pulled backstage. For the show's final set,
Goofy uses a multi-instrumental device on wheels to perform "
In the Good Old Summer Time" and "
There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight", but the tempo and intensity of the latter song destroy the machine. Donald performs a rapid-fire word-perfect recitation of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" from within Goofy's hat, and the "iris out" effect which ends the cartoon closes on his neck. He struggles to keep it open, but it finally closes. ==Voice cast==
