Synopsis
Betty Boop is Queen of Masquerade Ball. King of Masquerade Ball is a dirty old letch. Bimbo and the King both have the hots for Betty. She entices them and their factions fight over her. Bimbo loses, but Betty is disguised as the guard taking him prisoner and rescues him. Bimbo sings "Where Do You Work-A-John?" with Italian and Chinese dialects. Lots of skirt-hiking from Betty. There are also some Mickey Mouse lookalikes.

Mask-a-Raid
Betty flounces into this cartoon in full queenly regalia, attended by a retinue of hangers-on of varied species. Her lecherous Vizier gets into a rivalry with Bimbo over Betty's affections (mostly it's her be-gartered legs that set them off -- she puts them on pointedly erotic display in this 'toon! This isn't only pre-Code . . . it's why the code got written!)
