Betty Boop and Grampy
About Betty Boop and Grampy
Betty gets an invitation from her relative Grampy and walks over singing. A moving man, a fireman, and a traffic cop drop a piano, a burning house, and a jam to come along. Grampy, in his first cartoon, is an inventor: the house slides to the door when the bell rings, a lampshade doubles as a punch bowl, and an umbrella slices the cake. He builds instruments out of household gadgets. They play "Hold That Tiger" until the guests drop. Grampy does not.
