Summary:
Bosko and Honey go
for a wild ride.
Description:
Bosko is taking a
bath while humming "Singing in the Bathtub", playing everything
around him like a musical instrument. Even the bathtub gets up and dances.
Bosko rides a stream of water out his window, and calls for his car. While
driving, Bosko plays "Tip-Toe Through the Tulips" on his harmonica,
and picks up some flowers. He arrives at Honey' house while she is bathing
upstairs. Honey sees Bosko out of her bathroom window and quickly gets
dressed. Waiting outside, Bosko hides the flowers behind his back, but
a goat eats them. Bosko begins to cry, but Honey calls out from her balcony:
"Don't cry Bosko! I still loves you!". Bosko feels better, then
kicks the goat in the behind. He takes some parts from his car and makes
a saxophone out of them. Honey pours a tub of soapy water from her balcony
into the sax, causing it to blow bubbles up into the air. Honey jumps
off her balcony and dances on the bubbles, eventually making her way down
to the ground, where she and Bosko play her front path like a xylophone.
The happy couple drive off in the car and smooch. Along the way their
path is blocked by a lazy cow who won't budge. After being spat on by
the cow, Bosko decides to run it over. The car then hits a bump
which sends Bosko flying out of the car, splitting him into eight miniature
Boskos. He pulls himself together, and then helps push the car up a hill.
After reaching the top the car starts to speed downhill, with Bosko chasing
after it. Bosko grabs a rope attached to the car, but he's dragged over
rocks and trees and ends up in front of the runaway automobile. The car
goes off a cliff and lands in a pond. Bosko and Honey end up floating
in their car-turned-bathtub, while Bosko cheerfully plays "Singing
in the Bathtub" with reeds on the lilypads.
