Bimbo is setting off fireworks. A mouse gets in his way, and the two of them get into a dynamite fight, sending Bimbo to Mars. On Mars, Bimbo encounters strange behavior, such as an alien trying to put a gigantic letter in a small mailbox, only to put the mailbox into the letter, a robber giving money (at gunpoint) to his victim, and other craziness.

1930 cartoon stars Bimbo the dog, future pal to Betty Boop, trapped on Mars
I’m not a big fan of the cartoon character Betty Boop, but here’s a black-and-white gem from the film vault: Bimbo the dog, future pal to Betty Boop, in “Up to Mars” (1930), a Max Fleischer production. The synopsis, taken from the Big Cartoon Database:
