Swat the Fly is a 1935 Fleischer Studios animated short film directed by Dave Fleischer and starring Betty Boop and Pudgy the Puppy.[1]

Synopsis

While Betty tries to bake a cake, an annoying fly flies in to pester Betty and Pudgy the Pup. Betty, after failed attempts at regularly swatting a fly, desperately begins tossing gobs of extra dough at the little fly, but the fly keeps escaping. In the end, Betty catches the fly in a lump of dough, flat on Pudgy's nose, but the entire house is in shambles. Then the fly manages to free itself once more.
