Description

Symphony in Slang (1951) A real swinging hep cat (who, for purposes, we shall just call by the name of the voice actor) goes to Heaven and steps before Saint Peter. But his life story is so peppered with slang that the Apostle cannot understand him. Peter takes him to see Noah Webster, hoping he can furnish some clarity. What follows is a series of sight gags based on Webster's literal interpretations of the slang terms, such as John's first job being helping out a proprietor who is 'short handed', but being 'unable to cut the mustard', he is 'given the gate', and goes back to his 'hole in the wall'...
