Plot
The story begins with a crowd of cartoon characters filling the seats in a stadium. We soon learn that today's event is an auto race (in the style of Barney Oldfield). Betty, Bimbo, and Koko are among the drivers, but Betty arrives late, explaining that it is because she has a cold. Even though she has a cold, Betty wins by a nose, being the only car over the finish line after a sneeze-induced pile-up.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“Trade and the streets ensnare us,
Our bodies are weak and worn;
We plot and corrupt each other,
And we despoil the unborn.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
