Plot

Woody drops in at a fancy restaurant, but sorely undertips the waiters. Insulted, they toss him out without a bite to eat. Tired of living without a dollar to his name, Woody starts thumbing through the newspaper, and sees an ad about a wealthy lady seeking matrimony who goes by the name Gorgeous Gal.

Desperate but optimistic, Woody calls Gorgeous Gal and hears a sultry voice on the other end of the phone. Ecstatic, he rushes over to the woman's huge mansion to meet her. The spring in his step is all but shattered when he finally gets a good look at her: Gorgeous Gal is an overweight and overdressed bird who is much older than Woody.

Deflated, Woody makes a mad dash for the door, but not after trying to eat as much food as he finds. Conversely, Gorgeous Gal falls head over heels for Woody on sight, giving him a big wink and actively pursues him for the rest of his visit. She manages to steal a few kisses from Woody and attempts to seduce him at every turn. She goes as far as exposing her toothpick legs while saying "Cheesecake?" and appears in a bubble bath before him with her body covered in bubbles. Despite her using a rather inticing voice while saying things like "Sweety," "I'm waiting," "Honey Lamb," and "How 'bout a twosome, hon?" Woody still finds her unattractive. He tries to lose her in the mansion, but to no avail.

Eventually Gorgeous Gal gets Woody to marry her, reluctantly.
