However, the King catches up on him. Bimbo and the king pull on Betty's arms. Her skirt goes up, showing her underwear and her two garters and a little creature pins the dress closed. Betty wants the two to fight it out, to determine who is worthy of her affections, and pulls out two wooden swords, one big and one small, and tosses a coin to determine who gets which --- Bimbo gets the short one. The king and Bimbo fight, Bimbo loses and is taken away by a knight, revealing to be Betty, then says "What would you say if I married you?"
