Rhythm on the Reservation is a 1939 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop.
[edit] Synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Betty Boop's Swing Band visits an Indian reservation. The Indians borrow all the musical instruments, but not knowing their real purpose, they find odd uses for them. Betty demonstrates the correct use of the kettle drum and teaches the braves the true meaning of 'rhythm.'
This was the final appearance of Betty in a Fleischer Studio short[1]. Although the short Yip Yip Yippy is billed as a Betty Boop cartoon, she does not appear on screen.
