Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In her late-1930s "tall and slim" mode, Betty Boop is a combination cook and dishwasher at "Ye Olde Quaint Coffee Potte" restaurant. Fed up with this dead-end job, Betty jumps at the chance for a career change when she lands a attendant's job at the Bundle from Heaven Nursery. At first, Betty enjoys taking care of the cute babies at the nursery (who are bathed and diapered on a conveyor belt!), but when the kids start breaking up furniture and smashing water pipes, she she has a sudden and startling change of heart. Song: "Off With the Old Job, On With the New".
