Hokey in the Pokey

"Hokey in the Pokey" is the eleventh episode of Hokey Wolf season one, and came as part of The Huckleberry Hound Show. It first aired on November 13, 1961 in first run syndication. It was written by Tony Benedict, and produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the founders of Hanna-Barbera.

Hokey and Ding-a-Ling get mixed up in a situation when two thieves have stolen a valuable painting and hide in Hokey's cave. Ten months later they try to take the painting from the wolves at gunpoint, until the wolves get themselves turned over to the police by mistake.

Memorable quotes
Museum Watchman: It was most remarkable the day that picture was stolen. I saw it hanging there like that, then the next time I looked, it was gone just like that. OH NO! NOT AGAIN!

Behind the scenes

 * This episode is one of the rare occasions where the real criminal(s) actually get away with their crimes.
 * A similar thing happened in the Snooper and Blabber short, "Puss n' Booty" where the actual criminals tricked Snooper and Blabber into believing the fake Aloysius was the real one and then started shooting after the two.

Errors

 * If Hokey is shown to read newspapers in previous and later shorts, then wouldn't he find the article on the Moanin' Liza being stolen?
