Characters

• Boris the Wolf
• Alice Angel

Plot

The cartoon opens with Bendy walking down the street. A flyer for a movie showing that night blows on Bendy's face. Bendy calls Boris on a telephone and reaches through the telephone line to show the flyer to Boris, as a way to request going to the movies with him. Boris instantly declines and goes back to sleep, causing Bendy to cry. As Bendy is crying, someone taps his shoulder, turning out to be Alice Angel. She greets Bendy and agrees to go to the movies with him. Delighted, Bendy grabs her hand and sprints to the movie theater.

At the movies, Bendy excitedly eats popcorn while Alice is looking around, curious. The curtains open up to reveal a film called "The Large Sleep", which turns out to be Boris sleeping as he was earlier in the cartoon. Alice chuckles while Bendy face-palms at the movie. The movie is shown again before the cartoon ends.
