Bandleader and musician Don Redman joined his first band when he was six years old. In 1931, a thirty-one year old Redman formed his own band, quickly earning a residency at the famous Connie's Inn jazz club in Harlem.
Ann Little ... Betty Boop / Aloysius (voice) Billy Murray ... Bimbo (voice) (uncredited) William Pennell ... Ringmaster (voice) (uncredited) Plot The short film begins with a giant Betty Boop flag which flies over the big top. Betty works as a lion tamer and a tightrope walker. Another of the other circus attractions is Koko the Clown. While performing on the highwire the villainous ringmaster lusts for Betty as he watches her from below, singing "Do Something," a song previously performed by Helen Kane. As Betty returns to her tent, the ringmaster follows her inside and sensually massages her legs, surrounds her and threatens her job if she does not submit. Betty begs the ringmaster to cease his advances, as she sings "Don't Take My Boop-Oop-A-Doop Away". Koko the Clown is outside, practicing his juggling, and hears the struggle. He leaps in to save Betty's virtue, struggling with the ringmaster who loads him into a cannon, firing it, thinking that he has sent the hero away, laughing with self-satisfaction. But Koko is hiding inside the cannon, and strikes the ringmaster out cold with a mallet, returning with "the last laugh". When Koko expresses concern about Betty's welfare, she answers in song, "No, he couldn't take my boop-oop-a-doop away!" The film ends with Koko sweetly kissing Betty on the cheek. |

BARNICLE BILL THE SAILOR
Popeye dear we cannot wed
Popeye dear we cannot wed
Popeye dear we cannot wed
I love another sailor!
Who's the guy that won your heart?
It's Barnacle Bill the Sailor!
Who's the guy that thinks he's smart?
It's Barnacle Bill the Sailor!
Why that false heart and flattering tounge
he courts them all both old and young!
He courts them all but marries none your Barnacle Bill the sailor!
But he's strong and handsome too!
But he's strong and handsome too!
But he's strong and handsome too!
My Barnacle Bill the sailor!
I'll twist his toes and squeeze the nose of Barnacle Bill the sailor
I'll mop the place with his false face the Barnacle Bill the sailor
I'll grab him by his dirty neck and when i throw he'll be a wreck
I'll sweep and smear and swab the deck
With Barnacle Bill the sailor!
(Door Begins to Knock)
Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Who's that knocking at my door?
Tell the fair young maiden?
It's only me from over the sea your Barnacle Bill the sailor
I've come to take you away with me
I'm Barnacle Bill the sailor
Hurry before you get me sore, i'll rare and tear and rant and roar!
Hurry before i bust in the door
It's Barnacle Bill the sailor!
Here i come to let you in
Here i come to let you in
Here i come to let you in
My Barnacle Bill the sailor!
Popeye dear we cannot wed
Popeye dear we cannot wed
Popeye dear we cannot wed
I love another sailor!
Who's the guy that won your heart?
It's Barnacle Bill the Sailor!
Who's the guy that thinks he's smart?
It's Barnacle Bill the Sailor!
Why that false heart and flattering tounge
