One More Time is the second title in the Merrie Melodies series, and stars Foxy as a Prohibition-era cop. It was released as early as August 11, 1931. It is directed by Rudolf Ising.
This is one of only three Merrie Melodies cartoons to star Foxy; the other two are Lady, Play Your Mandolin! and Smile, Darn Ya, Smile!.
Plot
The cartoon shows police officer Foxy who deals with armed criminals, traffic violations, and Roxy's huge dog. The main action involves a group of gangsters kidnapping Roxy while making their getaway; Foxy chases them on a mechanical horse, rescues Roxy, and puts the criminals in jail—only to be shot in the back by a crow.
Colorized Version
A copy of the short was sent to South Korea in 1973 to be redrawn in color, being renamed "On Duty." However, the copy was missing it's audio. As a result, the short was filled with stock music and sound effects.
Home media
One More Time is available on Disc 3 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6.
