Synopsis

Betty Boop's tavern is the hangout for all the coal miners, and the place is loaded with great jazz music. After a walk-through shower, the miners file into Betty's place for lunch. Once they leave, they walk back through the shower and the coal grime goes back on them- in the classic Fleischer tradition! Betty and Bimbo both sing. At the end, they both investigate goings-on in the mine, and find ghosts!
