Once again, we hear and see Rubinoff playing the violin to open up this Betty Boop cartoon. He plays soft, quiet music as an introduction until Betty gives ups her "oop, oop be doop" opening. Then we get to the story, where we first see big-city buildings, all linked to a toy factory, producing a mystery package that is transported by a small train and then by a plane. Eventually, it is dropped down a chimney to a magical house with wooden soldiers. Inside the box is Betty, in toy-soldier form! The wooden soldiers come to life, play the trumpets and all the toys come to life.
From that point, it's a lot of song and dance until a big ape comes to life and tries to harm Betty. That's when the soldiers come to the rescue! In all, nothing super and geared a lot more to little kids.
