- In a return to the 'Out of the Inkwell' format, Betty Boop invents a 'pep' formula to speed up lazy Pudgy, but it escapes into the 'real world' with rapid results.
- From the "Out of the Inkwell" series in which the hands-seen-only animator and narrator introduces Pudgy the Acrobatic Dog and his death-defying stunts, except Pudgy is too tired to perform and keeps falling asleep. Cut to perky Betty perched on the ink-bottle who asks "Uncle Max" if he needs any help. "Uncle Max", of course, would have been producer Max Fleischer but it is doubtful if he supplied the narration voice. Betty breaks the fourth-wall and sings a ditty about having to have pep to Pudgy, and then, in order to give Pudgy some pep, she tosses Vim, Vigor and Vitality into the Pep Machine. The machine flies out the animated window into some live-action stock footage of parades, and NYC snow-removal trucks and delivery trucks and marching sailors and all the action is sped up as the animated Pep Machine passes by. It returns to the stage and Pudgy does his tricks...and Betty, having rescued Uncle Max, return to the ink bottle, which is not in an inkwell to begin with.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
- In More Pep from 1936, Pudgy is featured as a circus act drawn by his animators who cannot get him to perform because he's sleepy. Betty Boop comes out of the inkwell to help "Uncle Max" give Pudgy some pep. She helps draw in the cartoon, which incorporates live action people receiving "pep" from a machine Betty draws to give people "vim, vigor, vitality and pep." Eventually Pudgy gets sprayed by the pep machine and performs his circus dog tricks as asked. Betty dives back into the inkwell and Max thanks her for her help to get the cartoon finished.—KS at ClassicCouple.com
