Synopsis

Barnacle Bill is a 1930 Fleischer Studios animated short film. It is part of the Talkartoons series, and featured Betty Boop (here called "Nancy Lee") and Bimbo (as "Barnacle Bill").

Barnacle Bill (Bimbo) is a sailor on a ship that has just come into port. As soon as he can get off the ship, he heads for Nancy Lee's (Betty Boop) house. When he gets there he begins knocking on her door. Bimbo and Betty begin singing the lyrics to a tame version of "Barnacle Bill the Sailor". The actions of the film follow along the song's storyline, with Barnacle Bimbo romancing Betty and then leaving her to go back to sea.
