Betty Boop's Traveling Department Store comes to Hillbillyville; the mountain folks find old uses for the new gadgets, such as using a waffle iron for ironing hair, or playing music, in which Betty joins in on the fun.

Notes

This is the last theatrical short subject cartoon in which Mae Questel voiced Betty. After this cartoon, other people would provide Betty's voice.
