About Betty Boop's Crazy Inventions

At an inventors' show in a circus tent, Betty Boop, Bimbo, and Koko the Clown demonstrate gadgets: a spot remover that cuts a hole in the cloth, a cigarette snuffer, a soup silencer that turns slurps into music, a typewriter that lines up an ear of corn, a voice recorder, and a sewing machine that threads itself. The machine runs wild and sews things together. Betty and Bimbo leave on an umbrella that becomes a helicopter.
