They sing a song and ask the audience for laughs so that they’ll get another booking. When the audience laughs, Charles takes a picture of them as proof. He announces at the end that he accidentally took all of the pictures on one roll, so none of them will turn out. They do some more parodies and then a “Rest in Peace” horseshoe is passed over the footlights.
