Horse on the Barrel

There’s an exciting chase in “Betty Boop’s Prize Show” (1934), where Betty tries to stop Phillip the Fiend from firing at Fearless Fred who’s chasing them on horseback.



Ah, but this is taking place on stage. We get to see the stage machinery in place. A piece of stage setting is pushed away and reveals the horse is riding in place on barrels.



We can tell the horse is a bad guy because he’s smoking a cigar and has a nasty look on his face.
