It's a party to celebrate band leader B.A. Rolfe's 40 years in show business. The Music Hall Boys are on hand to play. A photographer's flash sends Rolfe into a swoon. He imagines he's climbing a ladder to Heaven, where St. Peter wants to examine his record. Rolfe produces his latest recording: St. Peter listens then explains he means Rolfe's moral record, and he asks about that girl Sally back in the 1890s. We see a dance hall where Rolfe enjoys two women doing a can-can; one sits on Rolfe's lap while a trio harmonizes. St. Peter asks what happened to Sally. A celestial photo sends Rolfe back to the celebration. And Sally?
