Dopsy sells "Never Fail Cosmetics" door-to-door. If he can make the ugly Beast (from the story "Beauty and the Beast") handsome, his business will improve.

Dopsy makes the Beast up to look like crooner "Hank Swoonatra" (a caricature of Frank Sinatra) but they're mobbed by bobby-soxers. Plastic surgeon Dr. Fixit converts the Beast into a double for movie star Chuck Doya, but an ugly woman kisses him and makes him ugly again.
