Plot
[edit]Betty Boop runs the newly opened Hi-De-Ho-Tel, which has 40 rooms and only two baths. Guests have many complaints, ranging from a drawer shelf nailed into the wall apart from the rest of the drawer to pillowcases filled with cement bags and faulty beds with very short blankets. When they stress Betty out, she calls Grampy, who remedies the guests' complaints by making several complex contraptions.
