Betty offers the monkey a dime, which was a high price back then. Most people would give a penny to the simian performer.
The monkey gives a Tarzan-like call, a nod to the popular film series of the era, which Pudgy then imitates.
The curious looking item that traps Pudgy was actually a modern indoor clothes drying rack. The background shows a twin tub washer, the very latest in washday necessities.
Betty's home has the very latest kitchen appliances and furnishings, which adult cinema goers would have appreciated. Betty Boop was always geared towards a more mature viewer, though there was plenty of slapstick to amuse the children.
