Synopsis

Betty Boop introduces you to the stars of the future. Betty is a headliner herself, garbed in top hat and tails. In one scene, the child act "The Colorful 3" is introduced on stage and sings "Hi-De-Ho." The children start to cry. To pacify them, a giant watermelon is brought to them. In the meantime, a black mama in the audience has her child act up. She uses a watermelon to calm him down, too!
