Betty Boop is incensed at her farmer neighbor's cruelty to his animals. But the inventive Grampy knows how to teach him a lesson.
Be Human has been criticized for depicting the harsh punishment of the abusive farmer as being commendable.
Song
The cartoon features the song Be Human sung by Betty Boop accompanying herself on piano. Instrumental renditions of the song are also prominent throughout the cartoon. When the animal-abusing farmer winds up on Grampy's punishment treadmill, a phonograph recording of Grampy's voice is heard singing the song.
Lyrics
There's a very simple lesson,
But it's easy to forget;
And I promise, you'll regret it if you do.
That if you're always kind and gentle
With your family pet,
He'll be just as kind and gentle
With you.
Be human, animals can cry;
Be human, it's easy if you try.
Don't go around with a heart of stone,
Or you'll be sorry and all alone.

There's a hole in my heart which you used to get your air It won't beat again for at least another year You cut it out yourself, so you wont suffocate in there Your patience is losing to your fear I lost her When collecting angels come I will rush to find your prayers They're buried in the closet under the stairs under boxes of my dreams and the clutter of my fears my selfishness is probably why they're here and I kept digging my own grave I'm close to 30 miles deep I can taste the other side and it isn't pretty and I left my lover in a bottle and I threw it out to sea as soon as she left my fingertips I prayed she come back to me come back to me baby I lost her I lost her I lost her I lost her I lost her I lost her I lost her I will never stitch the hole you cut In hopes that you will return to me I will work to be a man yes you will see yes I will work to be your man yes you will see
