This is based on a Cab Calloway tune which we get to see at the beginning. When all the denizens of the town at the foot of the mountain hear that the old man is coming, they set sail. Betty is not intimidated and goes to see what all the angst is about. Of course, she is dressed in her signature sexy costume and when she meets the guy, he begins to drool over her. They do a cartoon version of the song and then he gets down to business, chasing her, grabbing her. This must have raised a couple eyebrows in the day. I understand it was actually banned for quite some time after its original release because the Code came in. The music really makes the thing and Betty is at her sassy best.
