Underground being a metaphor for initiation/enlightenment, as also referenced in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures Underground" later retitled Alice in Wonderland.
He is increasingly worn down by a combination of illusion, torture, and sexual priming.
At the end, he is enticed into the cult via sexual temptation by Betty Boop. Upon Bimbo accepting this, and thus being part of the club, all the male members who have been chanting "Wanna be a member?" turn into clones of Betty Boop and they start spanking ass.
