There's a lot of animation cheating in this Terrytoon about a health spa, but the money seems to have been spent on a song for this one, "Dance and Grow Thin". Every two or three months in this period, Philip Scheib, Terry's music director, would produce a new song with, everyone hoped, the potential for a hit record.
The gags are fairly good, including one sight gag of a dancing couple with an Art Moderne air to it. For the rest of it, the gags are fairly standard, although tending more on the Rube Goldberg mechanism style of humor. Although not one that will win any fans for Terry's cartoons, this is a good one from his strongest period.
