The story is set in 1939 New York. The opening credits start off with Betty singing "Just Give 'Em Your Boop Oop a Doop". Betty Boop is a girl who is adored by her neighborhood. Betty sells shoes by day, and performs in her Uncle Mischa's club by night. While working at Club Bubbles Betty sings "I Wanna Be Loved By You" to get Wando Van Lavish's attention. Uncle Mischa is threatened at the stage door by a trio of threatening gangsters because he can not pay his debts. The gang kidnap Betty but she manages to escape. She attacks the henchmen with her bag and escapes the gang following her with the intention of killing her. Betty meets up with Waldo and asks for his help. Waldo turns out to be a coward and Betty ends up having to save him. Betty climbs to the top of Club Bubbles, while carrying Waldo over her shoulders. Betty and Waldo fall only to be caught by Fred. Betty meets up with Waldo and is introduced to Waldo's parents as a new maid. Betty then attacks Waldo with her bag and leaves furious. She is then seen on her apartment balcony with Fred as they sing a duet "I Only Have Eyes for You". Betty's theme song "Just Give 'Em Your Boop Oop a Doop," reprises behind the closing credits.
