The show opens with a newsreel called Warmer News. It presents the implementation of war to peace time use. With the help of radar the father of a family can detect the approach of his mother-in-law, and hide the entire house before she arrives. During the newsreel a wolf in the auditorium falls asleep, but when the feature starts, he quickly awakens. The feature presents the two stars Bogey Gocart and Laurie Bee Cool in "To Have-To Have-To Have-To Have-To Have-To Have-To Have-To Have". When Laurie in the film asks "Anybody have a light?", the wolf in the audience gets randy. And when she continues: "You only have to whistle", the wolf starts whistling loudly.
