The legendary Texas Guinan and a gang of girls sing "Hail, Hail the gang's all Here" on the deck of an ocean liner. They all look great - presumably the girls are nightclub hostesses. Texas wears jodhpurs and a white jacket and beret. She makes a great speech about how she is the biggest sucker in the world because she went all the way to France to get put in prison when she could have been put in any jail in good old New York city.
"What's the greatest country in the whole world?" she asks her girls, "America!" they all reply!
Note: I think Texas Guinan was a stunt cowgirl before she was a nightclub hostess...
