[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

At the inventor's show, Betty, Bimbo and Koko the Clown demonstrate a variety of gadgets, including:

  • a spot remover - a large steam powered device removes the spot by cutting a hole in the fabric
  • a cigarette snuffer - a mechanical foot snuffs out the cigarette and a mechanical hand sweeps it up
  • a soup silencer - parts from a music box are installed on a spoon to convert the slurps to music
  • a sweet corn regulator - a typewriter is adapted to position the corn for easy eating
  • a self threading sewing machine - a mechanical hand and eyeball thread the needle

When the automated sewing machine gets out of control and proceeds to sew various things together, Bimbo and Betty escape via an umbrella that turns into a helicopter.
