"Bring 'Em Back a Live One" is the twentieth episode of Hokey Wolf season one, and came as part of The Huckleberry Hound Show. It aired on September 29, 1961 on NBC. It was written by Tony Benedict, and produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the founders of Hanna-Barbera.

After falling for one of Hokey's tricks, Farmer Smith hires a professional hunter and his hunting dog to capture Hokey alive. Sure enough, there's no escape from the hunter.

Detailed summary

Hokey: Notice how I hold the chicken, Ding. Firm, but not too tight, that's professional.

Behind the scenes

Hokey refers to Farmer Smith as being Irish.

Errors

Hokey's mouth movement is unusual in this episode compared to other episodes, with his mouth being mostly on the side on his face when talking, rather than being in the center.
It's unexplained how Ding-a-Ling ended up with Hokey after the hunter bought Hokey back to Farmer Smith's place, because the hunter only led Hokey there.
Smith only asked the hunter to bring Hokey back, so why did the hunter also bring Ding-a-Ling back?
