"Is My Palm Read" is a 1933 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop, and featuring Koko the Clown and Bimbo.

ynopsis

Betty visits Bimbo the fortune teller for some advice, but Bimbo is only interested in making time with Betty. Bimbo's crystal ball predicts that Betty will be shipwrecked on a desert isle, but rescued by Bimbo. When Bimbo reveals himself by removing his fake beard, a happy Betty embraces him. Unfortunately, a group of ghosts burst in on this scene, and chase the two to the desert isle. Betty and Bimbo eventually escape from the ghosts by tricking them into going off a cliff into the sea.

Notes and comments

This short was colorized for a 1970's re-release. It was also released under the alternate title, "Professor Bimbo."

Some prints are missing two risque scenes. In one, a strategically place light reveals Betty's nude outline under her dress; in the other, Bimbo's crystal ball shows a nude baby Betty taking a bath.
