Bimbo visits a south sea isle, where he meets a dusky maiden who does a hot hula and looks a lot like Betty. Also a stereotyped headhunter tribe... The Royal Samoans perform in live-action.
KS3 idea: The introduction features a pacific islands ensemble vocal performance, followed by footage of a dancer with instrumental and vocal backing musicians 'The Royal Samoans'. The cartoon that follows concerning Betty's visit to Bamboo Isle is perhaps musically less noteworthy, except for a passage where guitars play extended harmonics and a portrayal of 5 dancers performing to body percussion only.
