Actually, it's Bing and Virginia Dale.  The premise is that Bing is
trying to "hide" her from being stolen away by Fred--about as
emabarrassing a number as you can find, overall.  It's been suggested
that shots of Louise Beavers (who plays the housekeeper at the Inn) and
her two little children were edited out of prints shown in the South.
