It seems Betty knows the Production Code would soon be enforced (on July 1; this cartoon was released on April 6) so she covers up her exposed underwear, thanks to a wooden clothespin on a line across the shaft.
On the way down, she grabs a jar of jam and opens it.
The jam turns into a head. A celebrity head!
Why, it’s Ed Wynn. He says “so-ohhhhhh” like he used to do to announcer Graham McNamee on his radio show of the time.
Betty decides to leave Ed behind on a convenient statue and continues her journey downward to Blunderland. The real Wynn supplied the voice of the Mad Hatter in Disney's version of Alice in Wonderland, released in 1951.
“Did You Ever Hear a Dream Walking?” is played on the soundtrack during this scene. And this is yet another animated cartoon where Franz Liszt’s Second Hungarian Rhapsody is heard.
Doc Crandall and Tom Johnson are the credited animators. Mae Questel does not play Betty in this cartoon.
