The setting is a nightclub staffed and frequented entirely by bugs. The cartoon is broken into three sections. In the first, the patrons are shown arriving, putting their hats, gloves, and canes to the check-in counter, before getting to their tables and being served; the lighting is provided by fireflies; a jazz band is playing a number - with a brief instrumental battle with a tuba player and a trumpeter, a cellist shooing the leaf-eating bugs from chewing on his big cello, a trombonist having an itchy backside as he improvises a way to continue playing, and a drummer playing his full set, two groups of dancers with the male species almost ready to tussle with each other, a group of trombonists and trumpeters alternately their part of the music before the whole band followed up; and a centipede waiter served out some cherry wine to the patrons from a singular whole cherry. The second features a performance of a French Apache dance as a good-girl fly resists the advances of a bad-boy spider until he gets caught in his own web and tangled himself up. The fly is now plays the bad girl at the end of the dance. Finally, everyone jams the dance floor, including the old bee and his red ant partner as they were smoking the floor, even the snails dancing the section a little slower, as the orchestra plays "Everybody's Truckin'" in the style of Cab Calloway on their instruments made of flowers.
Production
One of the bugs eating the cricket's cello has red pants like Mickey Mouse. In the edited version, part of the "Apache Dance" and "Everybody's Truckin'" were cut out due to racial stereotypes.
Reception
Motion Picture Herald wrote on June 26, 1937, "Gay and tuneful is this richly imaginative visit to a bug night club. Equal to the brightly tinted tones in which the comic business has been dressed in the sparkling mood of animated fun and nonsense which the subject creates. Simply an enumeration of some of the hilarious and musical moments that occur in this odd rendezvous of frolic and frivolity, the incidents depicted will perhaps have a stronger appeal for the adult and the teen-age spectator."
