Northwest Hounded Police

Directed by Tex Avery

19468 min7.0 / 10

A lighthearted, fast-paced cartoon chase comedy built entirely on slapstick gags and the absurd persistence of a deadpan dog pursuing an escaped wolf.

The wolf escapes from Alka-Fizz prison, but persistent Sergeant McPoodle (Droopy) of the Canadian Mounties follows his trail wherever he goes.
