Storyline

Little Henery the Chicken Hawk wants to trap Foghorn Leghorn for his dinner, and the barnyard dog says he will help Henery to catch Foghorn on one condition - that Henery find him a bone. Henery's effort to find the dog a bone involves obtaining cheese for a mouse and a fish for a cat, with Foghorn's help! Once the dog is given his bone, he uses it to knock Foghorn out so that Foghorn can be carried away by Henery on a toy train.

Goofs

Henery Hawk agrees to trade a bone, a fish and a piece of cheese for information, but he distributes the items all at the end of the cartoon, meaning that he got the information he needed before the exchanges. His original plan was to trade the cheese for information on how to get the fish and the fish for the location of the bone, but when he digs up the bone, he still has the cheese and the fish.

User Reviews

one feather washes the other

I would call "Leghorn Swoggled" one of the more mind-boggling (but no less funny) Foghorn Leghorn cartoons, as Henery Hawk wants to catch a chicken, but has to do a favor for Barnyard Dog, a cat, and a mouse. Foggy tries to give him advice every step of the way, but guess what ends up happening! Even if the process leading up to the real action gets a little whacked out, it's all worth it just for the final gag. Why does FL have to suffer so much? Who knows. Maybe his blustery, impetuous attitude gets the better of him like Daffy Duck's does him. Really hilarious. As this cartoon is not yet available on DVD (that I know of), you can watch it on YouTube.
