Micro-Phonies.divxThe boys begin the short as workmen getting chewed out by their boss. Fleeing from an unsuccessful attempt to repair a radiator, they end up in a recording studio, where Curly (in drag) is mistaken for an opera singer by a woman who sees the boys lip-synching to a recording made earlier in the day by Alice Andrews (Christine McIntyre). Invited to sing at a party that night, the boys bump into Signor Spumoni, who knows they are fakes, and Alice, who wants to win a job as a singer on her own to impress her father. Spumoni exposes the boys as fakes, and everyone realizes it was Alice who was the singer they were hearing. As the boys get what is coming to them, Christine's character is rewarded with the job. A good performance from Curly, considering he was not in the best of health when this short was made. 1945
