Major Story Arcs
Harriette is found by Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd when they go looking for Dimples. When they learn that Dimples has been found they try to make money off Harriette (whom they assume is male and call Harry) and her dancing skills. This goes poorly. Harriette first dances with a German band but gets laughed at. She breaks some instruments. In order to get better (so that people don’t laugh at her and make her mad) Charlie enrolls Harriette in a dance class. She gets too riled up and chases the instructor from the studio. She later goes on the run after she hears Mortimer make fun of her routine. She finds a talent show and tries wow the audience but things spiral out of control and Charlie and Mortimer have to stow Harriette away to Cuba to escape the law. Harriette learns that she is good at the rhumba and lives a life of fun in Cuba.
