Northwest Hounded Police is a cartoon starring a prototypical Droopy and Tex Avery's wolf. This cartoon (a remake of Droopy's first cartoon Dumb-Hounded and adopting elements from the Bugs Bunny cartoon Tortoise Beats Hare) revoles the wolf (an escaped convict) on the run from Droopy, who is trailing the wolf in order to capture him. The title is a play on words on North West Mounted Police, a 1940 film.
Plot
The wolf has escaped from "Alka-Fizz Prison" (a pun on Alcatraz Prison). When he escapes to Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police chief advises the Mounties to capture him. When he asks any volunteers to come up, all of them stand back, except for Sgt. McPoodle (Droopy). The wolf is making his best attempts to escape. Much to his shock, McPoodle appears wherever he tries to hide. Eventually, the wolf is chased back into his own jail cell. After being re-captured, he ask himself (thus breaking the fourth wall) if there could have been more than one of the dogs chasing him. Outside his cell, Droopy and his cousins echo to him in with the same voices, asking "What do you think, brother?"
