"Hokey in the Pokey" is the eleventh episode of Hokey Wolf season one, and came as part of The Huckleberry Hound Show. It aired on May 25, 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.

Detailed summary

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

For some reason, every time Silky is in the crooks' car, his trench coat is colored brown instead of white, only is his trench coat colored correctly when he's not in the car.
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 from the beginning?
