Betty Boop Collectables

Uncle Mischa at Club Bubbles has meanwhile contacted Fred the Ice Man telling him Betty's been kidnapped, not knowing she escaped & went to Waldo for help. Waldo's an unutterable coward & Betty has to save him. Fred goes to the Johnny Throat's apartment to beat up the gangster boss. But Betty's fleeing the other two thugs who've been sent to kill her. She climbs into the neo light tower of Club Bubbles, carrying Waldo over her shoulders, rather like a demure tiny King Kong. Impossibly strong though she appears to be, Betty nevertheless falls from the tower. Fred arrives in time to save the day, catching Betty & Waldo in a butterfly net he just happened to have on him. Foolish Betty is still showing affection only for Waldo. wjp takes Betty to meet his parents. She believes Waldo wants to marry her. But he's introducing her to his mom & dad as a possible new maid for their household. In high dudgeon Betty speaks up for the proletariat & realizes she should stick with a working class man like Fred! A scene later she is on the balcony of her apartment with Fred as they sing "I Only Have Eyes for You" as a duet. The half-hour cartoon kind of sucks for weakening of Betty's character, but she does save Waldo's life at least, so not entirely weak, & in the very end, to Fred's continuing distress, Betty asserts her intent to remain "an independent girl" & reprises her theme song behind the closing credits.
