Honest Love and True
- March 25, 1938 (1938-03-25)
Honest Love and True is a 1938 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop and her stage partner who's similar to a Snidely Whiplash character, and also another character who's playing as what seems to be a park official.
This is the last in a series of Betty Boop melodrama spoofs, which also included She Wronged Him Right (1934), Betty Boop's Prize Show (1934) and No! No! A Thousand Times No!! (1935).[1]
Plot
The plotline features Betty as a poor woman who became a singer in a Klondike saloon to avoid starvation, at the behest of her "rat" employer. Her song is lyrically about longing for a man to take her away from trouble, and then a man (who seems to be a national park official) comes by and feels allured by her song. The play then goes with Betty's employer pinning down the official to a wall and trying to kill him, while escaping to a remote cabin. The park official escapes and chases after them, then captures the employer, and the play ends.
