About Betty Boop's Ker-Choo

Bimbo and Koko line up for an auto race among talking animals. The cars wait in stalls like horses, and three blind old men are the judges. Betty Boop is the favorite and arrives late, singing that she has a code in her doze. Once the race starts, spectators catch her cold. Her sneezes carry her to the win.
