Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In her popular live stage show (rated "4 and 7/8 stars", according to the theater marquee), Betty Boop sings "Down in Our Alley" and does politically incorrect (but charming) imitiations of a Chinese laundryman and an Italian organ grinder. Meanwhile backstage, Betty's dog Pudgy gets into a fracas with an alley cat. A wild chase ensues, inevitably disrupting Betty's act. But the crowd loves the antics of the dog and cat--and two new stars are born, whether they like it or not.
