It was produced by Walt Disney Productions and distributed by RKO Radio Pictures, being released in March 21, 1952.[1] In the short film, Chip and Dale go out for a night on the town to see their mutual love interest, Clarice, the night club singer.[1]

Plot

edit

Chip and Dale see through the window of their house inside a tree the clubs of the city illuminated with neon lights, and saying that those places are not something that attracts them, they go to sleep. But as Dale sleepwalks, Chip seizes the moment to go to a nightclub where he has a date with a chipmunk named Clarice, however, Dale was simply pretending to be sleepwalking to go to the same club, due to the fact that he had also dated Clarice. When the two meet at the club in front of Clarice's dressing room, the two begin to argue about cheating on each other, until Clarice calms them down. Later, Clarice sings in the club while Chip and Dale watch her excited about it, and continue to argue for Clarice's attention. Finally, Clarice ends up giving both of them a kiss, with which they end up happy.
