Description
The story begins in Coldernell, Alaska- Population 320 and getting
smaller.
A wild, rough town where gold is king and gambling, drinking
and shooting each other are the major activities.
Droopy is
Dangerous Dan McGoo, a lone gambler, whose only love is the girl they
call "Lou," played by Red. The wolf drags himself into the saloon from
the 50-below cold and immediately pays for "drinks on the house," a
sight gag that will be reused many years later by Jim Henson in "The
Muppet Movie." As always, the wolf falls for Lou, tries to drag her
off and...
The lights went out!
A woman screamed!
Two
guns blazed in the dark!
And when the lights come
back up, Droopy is victorious, which makes you wonder why the picture is
called "The Shooting of Dan McGoo" when he isn't the one getting shot!In
one gag, the wolf wants a drink of whiskey (Old Panther).
After he
chugs it down, it shows his stomach being blasted from the drink.
His
eyes go red, and smoke comes out of his ears. He flies around the room
and comes back to the bar. Leaning over to the bartender, he complains,
"This stuff's been cut."
