Oliver pretends that he's the Sheriff from Midvale County when he confronts Mary Lou's husband about the swindling of Mrs. Audrey Cowan. From under the chaise lounge, Stan saves the day.

Susan rehearses at the riverboat nightclub, singing “I've Gotta See for Myself” about “the will-o-the-wisp they call love.” A will-o-the wisp is something that is ghost-like and elusive. Vivian Blaine, who plays Susan Cowan, went on to star in the debut of Guys and Dolls on Broadway.

Stan loses at poker and is asked to play a role that he has misgivings about. However, with some coaching from Oliver, Stan admirably rises to the occasion.

Susan sings “The Moon Kissed the Mississippi” to Miss Emily, her supposedly rich aunt and potential investor in Mr. Bennett's show. The song was composed for the film by Lew Pollack and the lyrics are by Charles Newman.

Miss Emily, who is Stan in disguise, is delighted with Susan and the show. Mr. Bennett thinks he's got Miss Emily on the hook for five thousand dollars. Meanwhile, "Watty" literally empties Mr. Bennett's pockets.

Mr. Bennett wants Tony Queen to advance him five thousand dollars to stuff in an envelope — part of a con to cheat Miss Emily out of her investment in the show. Chester has cooked up a similar swindle involving the switching of envelopes for Stan and Ollie to carry out on Mr. Bennett.

It's time for the envelope routine and both groups are sure they've pulled a fast one. Miss Emily proposes a drink to celebrate while Chester takes the envelope to the hotel safe.

When ​Bennett open​s​ the envelope​,​ Stan and Ollie make a hasty getaway — but not fast enough. Tony Queen plans on turning the showboat into a ​casino, which will include ​roulette and ​the bird cage (a game played with three dice)​. Queen also has plans for Susan.

Ollie is tasked with shoveling coal into the boiler to heat the riverboat while Miss Emmie (Stan) gets to sit it out. Susan entertains the nightclub patrons with a musical number.

The pills meant to turn water into gasoline were a bust, but they come in handy for Stan, Ollie, and Susan. Some of their problems just float away.

The guard in the engine room accidentally causes the nightclub riverboat to set off at full speed and chaos ensues. Chester comes to give Susan some welcome news, while Stan and Ollie end up in the Mississippi River.

In this clip, singer Laura Black performs a soulful rendition of an old song written by Country-music legend Johnny Cash.

In this song from the Radio Africa album, Latin Quarter sing about the civil rights movement in the USA, which started in the 1950’s and fought for the economic and political equality of African Americans.

Steve Skaith sings about the bad news that’s always on the radio about Africa. When the album came out in 1985, South Africa was still governed by racist apartheid policies. In the interest of overcoming language and cultural barriers, Latin Quarter and Steve Skaith provided subtitles AND translations on their album covers!

A journalist sits at his smeared desk, eats cheap beans from the can and writes the “Truth about John Lennon”. His client is a national tabloid daily paper. His source a young woman, who wants to cash in on a long forgotten affair. But she is unable to write her story alone and needs a ghostwriter, who’s now killing Lennon for the second time. A song by Latin Quarter.
