 Swim Or Sink (S.O.S)
comment
A Talkartoons cartoon by Max and Dave Fleischer starring Betty Boop. Originally released on March 11, 1932.This cartoon is also known as "Swim or Sink (S.O.S.)", "(S.O.S.) Swim or Sink" or just "Swim or Sink".We begin with a passenger ship getting caught up in a rain storm until the ship sinks. In the aftermath, we see Betty Boop, Bimbo and Koko the Clown stranded on a makeshift raft in the middle of the ocean. The three of them spot a ship in the distance that takes them aboard, but unfortunately for them, it's a Pirate ship, which starts a whole new set of problems.

Bring the Anchor Along: Koko being chained to the wall of the brig, walks away with the section of the wall he's attached to, though it breaks off once he goes through the doorway.

Cardboard Prison: Bimbo and Koko escape very easily from the brig the pirates throw them into. Bimbo tears his chains apart like they were made of paper and opens the door sealing them in like a shutter. For Koko, see Bring the Anchor Along.

Reflective Eyes: When the pirate captain first lays his eyes on the trio, we see them reflected in his non-patched eye; when he sees Betty however, his eye-patch goes up (showing his patched eye is fully functioning) and smiles while focusing his gaze on her legs, prompting Betty to pull her skirt down.
