Trivia
- Was released on the 15th of June in 1934.
- "Don't Take My Boop-Oop-A-Doop Away" plays as an instrumental in the title sequence.
- This is the first appearance of Fearless Fred.
- The cartoon is a sly reference to the $250,000 Infringement Lawsuit, with Betty Boop taken to court and winning her case. A hint to this would be when asked by the Judge what she has to say for herself, Betty tells him that she'll sing in scat and the the only thing she'll say is "Scat," "Skeet" and Cab Calloway's "Hi-De-Hi" and "Skeetle-At-De-Op-De-Day".
- The last Betty Boop short made before the effects of the Hays Office were felt. One scene has Betty's skirt whirling up, briefly revealing her panty-clad rear end.
- A scene briefly showing Freddy in blackface was removed from later colorized prints.
- Excerpts of the courtroom scene were shown in the February 21, 1976 edition of Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live, being passed off as an "artist's rendering" of the week's developments in the Patty Hearst trial.
- Titled Le Procès de Betty in French.
