"Betty Boop's Trial" is a 1934 Fleischer Studios animated short film, starring Betty Boop.

ynopsis

When handsome motorcycle police officer Freddy pursues Betty, she accidentally breaks the speed limit. Freddy is forced to arrest her and take her to traffic court. Betty pleads her case in song, but the judge and jury are more interested in Betty's body.

Notes and comments

This short features the first appearance of Freddy, Betty's semi-regular boyfriend.

One of the last Betty Boop shorts made before the effects of the Hays Office were felt. One scene has Betty's skirt whirling up, briefly revealing her panty-clad rear end.

A scene briefly showing a police officer in blackface was removed from later colorized prints.

Excerpts of the courtroom scene were shown in the February 21, 1976 edition of Weekend Update on "Saturday Night Live", being passed off as an "Artist's Rendering" of the week's developments in the Patty Hearst trial.
