At the theater, the mother infuriates the MC saying 'My son is too much of an artist to open a show".

Spanky befriends a girl called Daisy who has bombed her act but needs the prize money to buy a special dress.

Spanky steps out on the stage clad in a Roman Centurion costume, reciting William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

The grandmother sees the grommet hook dangling between the mother's legs in between her dress hem and shoes.

The mother is now the one who is being humiliated on stage as the curtain goes higher her dress goes up with the audience howling its approval.

The mother is thrown down to kneeling on the stage in her slip, she goes into shock and becomes petrified her head is back, mouth wide open and eyes looking straight up, she seems hypnotized by her dress dangling on the curtain.

Spanky rushes to hide her from being ogled and places a stage prop in front of her, once this is in place he hears a wild increase in the laughter, the prop has a caricature of a squatting dog's body on it with the mother's head perched on top.

Spanky looks at his mom, she looks so humiliated his eyes bulge and his helmet top starts to spin wildly.
