A fly in the ointment is that Decatur won't come because he's going to be with another woman.  Nicely Nicely and Horsethief go out to "persuade" Decatur to come to the party.  All these crooks then go out and rent top hats and tails so they'll look in-place at the party.

Next we cut to the party in progress, with all of Miami's finest in attendance thinking they are going to meet a princess.  We learn that the Col's blonde wife is named Mamie.

The Col and Mamie recognize Gloria wearing their jewels and dress and want her arrested.  Under threat, Decatur goes over and says a few kind words to Gloria.

Ozzie Nelson now introduces that Gloria will sing.  The blue-bloods recognize that Gloria is not the Princess of Carrollea and get up to leave.  The kind-hearted crooks threaten them with bodily harm, and order them back to their tables.  Gloria then sings her trademark song ''Who Knows?''
 +
 +
The Col and the cops want to arrest Gloria and Pinks right then, but the Professor comes in to explain that Case Abels is the reason Gloria is in the wheelchair.  He also explains that Case was on the make for the jewels in the first place, and since Pinks got them first, they are actually safe... on Gloria, right there in the nightclub. (It's screwy! Don't ask me!)
 +
 +
At any rate, the Col is so impressed by the tale, that he makes Decatur Reed change clothes with Pinks, he confronts his wife about her philandering and forces her to go over to Gloria. "You go over to that girl and make a fuss over her, and make all your friends do the same!"  Gloria now learns that Pinks stole the dress and jewels she is wearing, and then Pinks walks over dressed in Decatur's clothing.

Try not to burst out sobbing, when Gloria wishes she could dance and Pinks lifts her up and dances around the room holding her up.  Gloria in this scene appears to finally accept her altered condition and position.

Little Pinks (Fonda) and Gloria (Ball) are dancing, or rather he is holding her up, while he dances. (He must be awfully strong!)  At any rate, she decides she wants to walk up the stairs and he encourages her to try.  She makes a tremendous effort and takes one step then dies.  Pinks carries her limp corpse out while Violette (Agnes Moorehead) bursts into tears.

The End !
