Various saints are logging details of everyone entering Heaven, but because they're a bit out of touch with early 1950s slang, they come up with some very strange impressions of a recently deceased young man's life when he describes it to them.

"DIR: Tex Avery SUMMARY: When a New York hipster arrives at the gates of Heaven, neither St. Peter nor Noah Webster can accurately interpret his strange manner of speaking. WHY IT'S HERE: One of Tex Avery's most ingenious animated shorts, 'Symphony in Slang' owes its success chiefly to a brilliant script by Rich Hogan which plays on popular slang of the era to create a series of visual puns that interprets phrases like 'Cat got your tongue' and 'Born with a silver spoon in my mouth' completel"
