Louis Armstrong leads his orchestra in an exuberant performance of the song, with a bunch of pretty ladies in silk stockings getting their shoes polished.
It's one of more than two thousand "soundies" produced between 1939 and 1947, meant to be played on a device called a Mills Panoram. For seven years they could be found in bars, night clubs, and other places where people would gather. Think of them as music videos, available for viewing at a dime a song.
I'd like to say something significant about the song, but what purpose would that serve? It's Armstrong playing, and nothing more needs to be said.
