A sly fox manipulates Foghorn Leghorn into getting Barnyard Dog away from the hen house but his schemes backfire. I love me some Foghorn Leghorn but here the real star is the fox. He's a fun character. Love the racetrack tout routine. Wish I had a yellow plaid suit like that. The tout seems to be modeled after Sheldon Leonard's character from the Jack Benny radio and TV shows. Foghorn is fun but almost seems like a supporting character in his own short. Barnyard Dog is good, as is the little rooster who keeps pulling the alarm at the hen house. This is a pretty funny short but not one of Foghorn's best. The animation's nice and the voicework from Mel Blanc and Daws Butler is great.
