Plot
The cartoon opens with Bimbo as a sailor playing a ukulele and riding in a motorboat. His motorboat goes faster and faster, until it crashes into a tropical island shore located in Hawaii. Bimbo is thrown from the wreckage and lands in another boat owned by Betty Boop, portrayed as a dark-skinned, topless island princess.Bimbo introduces himself and sings to Betty before they go over a waterfall, and are flung from the boat into a clearing surrounded by spirited tree that sing an eerie song. A group native warriors approach, so Bimbo disguises himself by painting his face black with dirt and sticking a bone in his hair. The natives are ready to attack Bimbo at first, but treat him as an honored guest after hearing him sing. Bimbo is entertained by Betty who does a hula dance, after which a sudden rainstorm washes off his disguise. The natives immediately turn on Bimbo, and he and Betty are chased from the village. They run until they reach Bimbo's motorboat to make a narrow escape. When it seems that they are alone, the two proceed to kiss in private behind an umbrella, with a convenient hole.
