After dreaming of his disastrous future in opera and the success the gang has in popular music, he awakes and rushes to join the rest of the gang in time for the closing number.

All-Star Extravaganza
La Cucaracha - When a famous theater impressario, Senor Martinez, travels to Mexico he has a very specific agenda.

A famous Mexico City theater owner comes to their small town to audition Pancho for a contract with his company. Chatita decides to mess up the audition in hopes that Pancho will not get the job and stay at their cantina. Hilarity ensues as Chatita plans go awry. This live-action film from Pioneer Films was the first to use the new 3 strip Technicolor process, far superior to the old 2-color process.

This short film was made to raise funds for the National Variety Artists tuberculosis sanitarium and featured many of Hollywood's biggest stars contributing their time to this project.

Moving from a star-studded party to a movie studio across town, the detectives eventually learn the truth behind the missing pearls.
