The Romance of Betty Boop is set in 1939 New York. The opening credits start off with Betty singing "Just Give 'Em Your Boop Oop a Doop". Betty Boop is a girl who is adored by her neighbourhood. She sells shoes by day, and performs in her Uncle Mischa's club by night. While working at the Club Bubbles, Betty sings "I Wanna Be Loved By You" to get Waldo Van Lavish's attention. Uncle Mischa is threatened at the stage door by a trio of menacing gangsters because he cannot pay his debts. The gang kidnaps Betty, but she manages to escape. Betty attacks the henchmen with her bag and escapes; the gang follows her with the intention of killing her. Betty meets up with Waldo and asks for his help, but Waldo turns out to be a coward and Betty ends up having to save him. Betty climbs to the top of the Club Bubbles while carrying Waldo over her shoulders. She and Waldo fall, only to be caught by Fred (Fearless Fred). Betty meets up with Waldo and is introduced to his parents as a new maid. Betty then attacks Waldo with her bag and leaves, furious. She is then seen on her apartment balcony with Fred as they sing a duet: "I Only Have Eyes for You". Betty and Fred kiss, however, she recieves a call from Hollywood saying that they want her to perform and be famous, resulting in Betty leaving Freddy. Betty's theme song "Independent Girl" reprises behind the closing credits.
