[edit] Synopsis
A large factory complex struggles to produce a single package, which is rushed to a toy store. The box opens, and out steps a Betty Boop doll. The other toys come to life, parade around to the music of March of the Toys and crown her their queen. But there's a big stuffed toy of King Kong who begins breaking things up. Eventually, the big ape is defeated, and the (somewhat damaged) toys resume their parade.
