This starts off with quite a fun little ditty that serves as their libel/defamation disclaimer - proclaiming that none of this is based on any real people! Who might have taken offence in the US of A in 1941 to the idea of a senate investigation into the dodgy goings on in any state at all, let alone Louisiana? Well it appears that the imminent arrival of the tee-total “Sen. Loganberry” (Victor Moore) has set the cat amongst the pigeons, and talk… read the rest.
