Plot

Jack and the Beanstalk
1952
This musical comedy stars one of Hollywood's greatest comedy duos, Abbott & Costello, bringing to life the colorful tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. While reading the story to a young man he's babysitting, Jack (Lou Costello) falls asleep and imagines himself as the hero, while everyone he's met this past day becomes the other characters in the story. Just like in the fable, Jack ends up selling the family cow to a shady butcher, played by Bud Abbott, for some magic beans that grow into a huge beanstalk that takes him on a wondrous trip to the giant's castle in the clouds.

The Road to Hollywood
1946
This film is presented by Bud Pollard and features scenes from a collection of Mack Sennett shorts that Bing Crosby appeared in between 1931 and 1932. The scenes included glimpses of Crosby's comedic talents that came to the forefront when he partnered with Bob Hope during the "Road" pictures they made together in the 1940's and 1950's. Also shown are some timeless musical numbers that showcased Crosby's talent that made him one of the top radio performers during the 1930's and 1940's.
