| Description: |
Steiner borrows this theme from The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse (1938), where it is used for the character Jo; this theme is also very similar to the "Sue" theme from Crime School |

| Analysis: |
This cue is full of "jazzy" Gershwinesque chords, including 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, and tritone substitutions; from C major it moves by a chromatic mediant to Eb major, then ends with an unstable half-diminished chord |
