I n f o r m a t i o n

»Boop-Oop-a-Doop is an animated short film created by Fleischer Studios on January 16, 1932, as part of the Talkartoon series.
The 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.« -- More information: Wikipedia
