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.
