Allen engages Dimples to perform the role of Little Eva in his production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" while Mrs. Drew makes it possible for Dimples to remain in her genteel home and enjoy its benefits. Various complications ensue and Dimples bravely makes the decision to sacrifice her happiness to return to her slum dwelling Grandfather.

Oh, thank you, Mrs. Drew.
You're a woman of great character
and discrimination.
May I?
Wait! Don't go!
We have a treat for you tonight.
The entire company,
headed by our charming little star,
has prepared a celebration for the first
anniversary of Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Out of the South has recently come
a new form of entertainment.
Our company wishes to be
the first to present it in New York,
if it is your pleasure.
The Louisiana moon
is shining down from starry skies
Above, mm-mm
The lonesome
lonely old and breaking heart
Just needs a lady love, mm-mm
While the shades of night
were falling, falling
You could hear him softly calling
Dixie-Anna, oh, Miss Dixie-Anna
Don't keep me waitin'
Ain't you gonna come out tonight
Full moon shinin'
and my heart a-pinin'
Come out and meet me
in the moonlight
Can't you understand
Love is in the air
Lovers hand in hand
strolling everywhere
Dixie-Anna, oh, Miss Dixie-Anna
Don't keep me waitin'
Ain't you gonna come out tonight
Glowin' and shinin'
and my heart a-pinin'
Come out and meet me
in the moonlight
Dixie-Anna, oh, Miss Dixie-Anna
Don't keep me waitin'
Ain't you gonna come out tonight
Moon a-shinin'
and my heart a-pinin'
Come out and meet me
in the moonlight
Can't you understand
Love is in the air
Lovers hand in hand
strolling everywhere
Dixie-Anna, oh, Miss Dixie-Anna
Don't keep me waitin'
Ain't you gonna come out tonight
Moon a-shinin'
and my heart a-pinin'
Come out and meet me
in the moonlight
Mr. Bowes, why is it a fireman
wears red suspenders?
Well, I'll tell ya, I don't know.
Say, how come a fireman
wear red suspenders?
Well, the reason a fireman wears
red suspenders?
To keep his pants up. I don't know.
Full moon shinin'
and my heart a-pinin'
Come out and meet me
in the moonlight
Oh, Dixie-Anna
don't you keep me waitin'
You know that ain't right
Dixie-Anna, oh, Miss Dixie-Anna
Don't keep me waitin'
Ain't you gonna come out tonight
Moon a-shinin'
and my heart a-pinin'
Come out and meet me
in the moonlight
Can't you understand
Love is in the air
Lovers hand in hand
strolling everywhere
Dixie-Anna, oh, Miss Dixie-Anna
Don't keep me waitin'
Ain't you gonna come out tonight
Moon a-shinin'
and my heart a-pinin'
Come out and meet me
in the moonlight
