It starts with an emcee's introduction of Dino "direct from the bar." Dino croons his way through "I'm Going to Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter," "Volare" and "An Evening in Roma" Dino sounds a little drunk. Suddenly there are loud female screams from the audience. Frankie takes the mike: "While they sober up the drunk, I'll sing a few songs" he croaks. Frankie is definitely drunk. He staggers through "Goody Goody," "At Long Last Love" and "I Get a Kick Out of You." Next up is Sammy, who starts off with "The Lady is Tramp." His voice is very hoarse (Frank at one point interjects "I think you're blowing your reed"). Sammy stops after a verse and starts complaining about how he can't sing "The Lady is a Tramp" because it's a Frankie song. But hey, wouldn't it be neat to hear how other people might interpret the song? Sammy proceeds to do imitations of Jimmy Cagney, Marlon Brando, Edward G. Robinson, Lionel Barrymore and George "Kingfish" Stevens doing "their" versions of "The Lady is a Tramp." Besides his hoarse voice he's pretty good.

Side two opens with drunken clowning around by the boys. Finally they realize they owe the audience a few more songs. Sammy promises to dance while Dino and Frankie sing. Dino starts with "Can't Give You Anything but Love." Frank (who sings too loud and swears throughout) takes over and stumbles into "Too Marvelous for Words." Dino and Frankie alternate through "It Had to Be You," "The Lady is a Tramp," "Where or When," "All of Me," and "Got the World on a String." Sammy joins in for "Birth of the Blues." They introduce the piano player, Ken Lane, and orchestra leader, Johnny Silvera, and the show comes to a close.
