The girl comes on stage, sings a song and then announces her partner will not be able to appear. She then states she is also a hypnotist and asks for subjects. A "plant," besides her partner, is used. This preliminary comedy gets some good laughs. She dismisses the plant and the real partner is left on stage. She hypnotizes him into giving all the usual imitations in the sound line.
The act is placed above any of the similar turns. The man is clever at this work.
