Deep into a vast and high-ceilinged cavern of the pitch-black inferno, a black servant of hell introduces a couple of professional dancers to demonstrate the cakewalk--the satirical dance which originates from the late 19th-century black America and is currently so much in vogue. All of a sudden, a grotesque demon sprouts out of an enormous cake, performing his version of the popular dance; however, it all ends up in a loud explosion and a thick cloud of smoke. But, everything about this latest craze is so infectious--so, without delay--everyone in the once-gloomy underworld starts doing the crazy dance. Who is the best dancer?
