Sad little deputy Droopy with his quiet ways makes an amusing counterpart to the heavily armed sheriff, who's all set to come in with guns blazing if anyone tries to steal the money they have in the safe. Two bad guys try to silently get at the safe, but again and again are forced to make noise and then run off to a nearby hilltop to let it out. The gag is repeated but there are lots of clever variations, e.g. Droopy whacking one with a board with a nail in it, and because he's stuck to the floor with glue, having to swap his head with his partner and having the latter run off. This was one of the last original cartoons from Tex Avery, who was nearing the end of his brilliant 20 year run in animation, and unfortunately disillusioned by it all. To honor his final Droopy toon, he provided Droopy's voice as well, so listen for that.
