This is the first of a series of Betty Boop melodrama spoofs, which also included Betty Boop's Prize Show (1934), No! No! A Thousand Times No!! (1935) and Honest Love and True (1938). The series was apparently inspired by the Terrytoons series of Fanny Zilch cartoons.[3]

Plot

Betty Boop appears in a stage play, complete with obvious theatrical backdrops. Betty doesn't have the money to pay the mortgage, so the dastardly villain Heeza Rat threatens to foreclose unless Betty agrees to marry him. The villain threatens Betty in various ways, even almost drowning her until the handsome and muscular Fearless Fred comes to her rescue.
