Dumb-Hounded
Directed by Tex Avery
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, MGM Cartoon Studio
A lighthearted slapstick chase cartoon where a hapless escaped convict is relentlessly pursued by an implacable cartoon dog, built entirely on physical comedy and absurdist humor.
The wolf escapes from prison but can't get away from police dog Droopy no matter how hard he tries. This is the first cartoon starring Droopy.
