She rescues the designer Zac Posen - who is ensnared in monstrous vines - with nothing but a glare, and turns men arguing on the sidewalk into grinning fools with a wink and a smile.

As Betty finds refuge behind a large tree in her underwear, her dress comes to life and slaps the Old Man before running back to its owner.In her first cartoon in nearly three decades, which appeared online in February, Betty Boop steps out of a car into a windy street, her short black dress flaring. The Old Man makes chase, and grabs Betty just long enough to catch hold of her dress, which Betty jumps out of. The Old Man and Betty continue to dance together, but when the song is over, the Old Man makes a lustful grab for Betty, who runs for her life back down the mountainside. 'Gonna do the best I can,' the Old Man replies, launching into a jazzy dance routine. 'Whatcha gonna do now?' Betty asks, frightened. After his first verse, the Old Man looms menacingly over Betty.

Over twice as tall as Betty, the Old Man backs the girl into his cave and, as Betty fights off his advances, begins to sing with her a duet of (Calloway's) 'You've Got to Hi-De-Hi.' Betty loosens up and joins in, and the two begin to flirt with each other. When Betty gets to the top of the mountain, the Old Man of the Mountain emerges from behind a rock. She passes several people fleeing from the Old Man, including a woman pushing a carriage with her triplets-who look suspiciously like the Old Man of the Mountain. Despite the owl's warnings, Betty is curious and declares, 'well, I'm going to see that old man of the mountain', and starts a trek up the mountainside. She confronts a passing owl, who in song describes the Old Man of the Mountain, a predatory hermit who threatens the livelihood of the villagers, particularly the women. In time, Betty Boop emerges from a guest house in order to find out what is going on. Betty, Koko, and Bimbo dance around in a circle of victory as the film ends.Īs the cartoon proper begins, a lion on roller skates (made of rabbits) rushes from his guard post atop a mountain, racing into a nearby village crying 'Look out! The Old Man of the Mountain!' The lions warning sparks a mass exodus of the other animals who pack up their things and start to flee as the lion continues to warn 'Look out! The Old Man of the Mountain!' The queen monster chases the protagonists until Koko grabs its tongue and, with one mighty yank turns it inside out.

With her rivals disposed of, the Queen again asks the magic mirror who the fairest in the land is, but the mirror explodes in a puff of magic smoke that returns Betty and Koko to their normal states and changes the Queen into a hideous monster. Meanwhile, Koko falls down a hole and arrives at the same cave, where the evil Queen turns him into a grotesque creature, all while singing the St James Infirmary Blues. This block slips downhill to the home of the seven dwarfs, who carry the frozen Betty into an enchanted cave. Betty escapes into a frozen river, which encloses her in a coffin of ice. With tears in their eyes, they take Betty into the forest and prepare to execute her. The Queen orders her guards Bimbo and Koko to behead Betty. A magic mirror, with a face resembling Cab Calloway, proclaims Betty Boop to be 'the fairest in the land', much to the anger of the Queen.
