At the Club Bubbles, Betty sings "I Wanna Be Loved By You" to Waldo and impresses him, after her performance on stage Betty meets Waldo near the "Totes & Hats" rack, and he invites her out for a date.
Waldo shows no interest in Betty and disrespects her on numerous occasions throughout their meetings, however Betty is oblivious to this. Betty nearly falls to her death when Waldo asks her to take his photo on top of a skyscraper.
He later schedules a meeting at his parents house, where Betty Boop believes he will propose her. When Betty meets up with Waldo she is followed by Mr. Throats gang. Betty saves Waldo from the gang and still wants to get married with him, only to later find out that he only wanted to hire her as an upstairs maid.
