Plot

It is the night before the birthday of single child Barbara Webster. Her spoiled and unaffectionate mother tells her she will not be in town and she does not want her daughter to go with her where she's invited. Barbara, called also Babe, is quite disappointed about the coldness of her mother and relies on her father. Unfortunately, her mother tells her, he will be out of town as well. Barbara is left alone with her sadness about her parents not caring for her. That is what makes her call a friend Eddie to organize something for the evening. Eddie then asks Babe if she could "dig up a live one for" for his friend, Bill Evans, who is there with him. She answers, only the dead have to be dug up, and she will see if she can find something "dainty but dumb".
