Whoops! I'm a Cowboy! is a 1937 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop.

Synopsis

Betty's short weakling boyfriend Wiffle Piffle proposes to her. Betty turns him down, saying/singing she's only interested in a "bronco-busting" he-man cowboy. Wiffle sets off for a dude ranch to learn how to become a real cowboy. It doesn't work out so well.

Notes and comments

The film includes the first of only two appearances by Wiffle Piffle in the Betty Boop series. His second was in The Hot Air Salesman (1937). Otherwise, Wiffle Piffle appeared only in the Screen Songs series.
