Grampy shows up to take Betty out for a drive, but Betty can't leave until everything is tidy. Grampy literally puts on his thinking cap (a mortarboard with a lightbulb on top), and invents a host of labor-saving devices: a cuckoo clock powered dishwasher, a combination bicycle and floor scrubber, and a player piano that folds laundry.
Betty receives an invitation to a party from her elderly relative, Grampy. As she strolls along singing "I'm On My Way to Grampy's", she is joined by two moving men, a fireman and a traffic cop—all who irresponsibly drop everything (including a piano, a burning house and a traffic jam) to go to Grampy's party.
Before they can leave the house, it starts to thunder and rain, making it impossible to attend the carnival. Betty's upstairs neighbor Grampy saves the day by using his crazy inventions to turn the apartment (and eventually, even the whole house with a huge umbrella covering it) into a circus.

Betty leaves her pet Pudgy home alone with three adorable little kittens. As soon as Betty is out the door, the kittens begin to make mischief, turning the house into shambles. When Betty returns, she assumes the damage was caused by Pudgy, and punishes the innocent pup. The guilty kittens emerge from hiding and confess by singing the title song.
