[edit] Synopsis

A live-action janitor at the Fleischer studio is studying hypnotism while cleaning Max's desk. He manages to conjure Max's pen into drawing Betty Boop. He then uses his new powers to control the animated characters. After waking from the spell, Betty manages to work a few spells of her own on the unwitting janitor.
