Not the ideal community (better for open ended questions), but I’ve been looking for a Droopy cartoon that I vaguely remember from ages ago.

The overall premise is not too different from Tom and Jerry’s “The Royal Cat Nap”. The gist of it was that Droopy had to guard a nobleman (king?) while he was asleep. Near the end, I distinctly recall Droopy handing dynamite sticks to the villains, the scene cutting to outside the castle with the duo running in and out with ever bigger dynamites, until a really big one blows them away. The scene cuts back to the king, who wakes up and removes the corks from his ears and talks to Droopy.

Thing is, looking at the list of Droopy cartoons, none of them seem to have a premise remotely similar to that. I’m wondering what I’m remembering wrong, whether the main character or what else.

Solved: It was Deputy Droopy. My memory was very wrong on how it actually played out for the most part. Thanks, everyone!

    The plot sounds similar to the 1955 short “Deputy Droopy”, but the setting isn’t what you described.

      I’ll have to watch it later

      EDIT: That was it. Goes to show how fuzzy my memory was about the episode. Big thanks!

    Can you describe the bad guys? I don’t know if I can help but I do seem to have a mental catalogue of old cartoons that’s bigger than most.
