About Betty Boop: The Candid Candidate (1937)

The Candid Candidate is a 1937 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop and Grampy.

Betty Boop campaigns for Grampy for Mayor, and wins by one vote (despite the fact the town's paper says it's a landslide). However, he later finds out the job isn't as glamorous as he thought. Nonetheless, he helps solve some of the city's issues, such as building a free bridge on the river, creating a public automatic root beer stand, etc., and the townspeople love him.
