A woman sits at a piano, while a man in a tuxedo plays saxophone into her face. CU on flapper’s feet as she does the Charleston in T-bar shoes. Drunk couple making out, followed by a woman spiking a waiter carafe with a bottle of booze. A man drinks from a flask, a woman rolls the die in a gambling game, and more CUs on people playing instruments and doing the Charleston. An RCA Victor LP spins on a phonograph, followed by George Gershwin playing piano in a big band. CU of Paul Whiteman playing violin with his orchestra. CU on black musicians in a big jazz band playing drums, piano and muted trumpet. At a larger party couples Charleston and a smaller band plays with banjos and mandolins. A male chorus sings into cones to amplify their voices.
