Pigmeat and Shorty get to the party just in time to see the gals and guys go into a few hot songs and dances...they start to go for the dames, but suddenly remember the money.  Of course they catch the crooks, but for a couple of barbers hey certainly have some close shaves before the fast and furious fun is over.
