" Rah! Rah! Rah! ... Ray! Ray! Ray! ... College Swing ... Is Here To Sway! "

-- Synopsis: Burns and Allen do their wacky zany classic skits. Martha Raye's singing, dancing and comedy make the show. Bob Hope is in only a few scenes, though he does a nice duet with Martha Raye.

 

* Betty Grable does some fantastic dancing as well as the Jitterbug with husband Jackie Coogan, Gracie Allen does a Jig, Ben Blue, Martha Raye and Jackie Coogan plus others do some good dancing as well.
