Plot
Outside the office of Goode and Korny: Talent Agents, aspiring performers await their auditions. Porky, the agency's producer, presides over the auditions, where various performers showcase their talents, including:


 * A hen, who performs "Blue Danube" but faces dismissal after a literal interpretation of "laying an egg."
 * A fox, eager to impress Porky but instructed to wait his turn.
 * A turtle, purporting to possess a thousand voices, yet failing to meet Porky's expectations.
 * Bingo the Parrot, Frankie the Rooster, and Al the Duck, presenting a rendition of April Showers, deemed unsuitable for Porky's clientele.
 * A two-headed man, humorously revealing his janitorial occupation instead of an anticipated sensational act.
 * J. Fenton Hadding, a dog in a bathing suit, whose eccentric performance involves an elaborate dive from an elevated platform.
 * Crawford Coo, with a failed pigeon act, and subsequently, a futile attempt at tap dancing.
 * A shaggy dog, introducing the Itch and Scratch Flea Circus, captivating in concept but failing to impress Porky.

Concluding the auditions, the fox's explosive act, involving the ingestion of hazardous materials, earns Porky's approval, only for the Fox's ghostly return to reveal a fatal flaw in the performance.
