Free-spirited Jerry, his girlfriend Angela, and his buddy Harold head out for a day at a seaside carnival. In one venue, a dance number is performed by Marge, a superstitious alcoholic who drinks before and between shows, and her partner, Bill Ward, for a small audience. Backstage, Marge sees a black cat and, disturbed by its appearance, visits powerful carnival fortune-teller Estrella to find out what it means. In her fortune-telling booth, Estrella predicts death for Marge, who runs out, terrified, past Jerry, Angela, and Harold. The three decide to have their fortunes told. Estrella predicts “a death near water” for someone close to Angela.
After leaving Estrella’s booth, Jerry sees Estrella’s sister Carmelita, a stripper who hypnotizes him with her icy stare, and he is compelled to see her act. Angela leaves the carnival, disgusted, with Harold in tow. After the show, Jerry is tricked backstage into Estrella’s room with a note and she turns Jerry into a zombie by hypnotizing him with a spiraling wheel. Jerry then goes on a violent overnight rampage of which he will have no memory, killing Marge and fatally wounding Bill.Â
Interspersed through the film are several song-and-dance production numbers in the carnival’s nightclub, with songs like “Choo Choo Ch’Boogie” and “Shook Out of Shape.”
So sit back and enjoy the laughs as KFEB gets hypnotized by the dance numbers. Oh so many dance numbers. Possibly even too many.Â
