June Burnette and a barbershop quartet sing the title song in this soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
It's done in the style of those "A Man Was The Cause Of It All" songs of the Gay Nineties, of a girl betrayed. Clearly it's meant to be a burlesque, but even for that it's a bit overdone.
