The Candid Candidate background

The Candid Candidate

Grampy's mayoral campaign, led by the enthusiastic Betty Boop, yields a narrow victory, but the new mayor soon discovers that governing a city is a daunting challenge, particularly when tackling urban revitalization.

In the animated film, Grampy is unexpectedly elected as the new mayor, thanks to Betty Boop's campaign efforts. As he settles into his new role, he's bombarded by citizens emerging from unexpected places, demanding solutions to the town's problems. Grampy rises to the challenge, using his creative problem-solving skills to tackle various issues, from building a new bridge to improving ramshackle houses. His unconventional methods lead to innovative solutions, such as a subway train that goes directly into buildings and a public fountain that serves beer. The townspeople rejoice at Grampy's unorthodox yet effective leadership.
