The plot of the short is centered on Tex's recurring Wolf character, who has escaped from Alka-Fizz Prison and into the Canadian wilderness. Droopy of the North West Mounted Police is the only "volunteer" who will track him down. The rest of the short is spent on the wolf trying to escape Droopy, but to no avail.

!!Tropes Used In This Short:
* BedsheetLadder: Used by the wolf to scale the prison walls.
* BehindAStick: Parodied. After one of the Wolf's escape montages ends with him on a tiny island large enough for him, a rock and a pebble:
-->'''Wolf:''' ([[NoFourthWall to the camera]], snarkily) [[GenreSavvy Yeah, I know.]] (points to the rock) He'll probably be right under that rock.
-->'''Droopy:''' (emerging from beneath the pebble that's smaller than his hat) Nope, under ''this'' one.
-->'''Wolf:''' (has nervous breakdown.)
* BornInTheTheatre: Wolfie nearly runs off the very film on which the short was printed. Then he runs into a movie theater and watches the beginning of an MGM animated short, which turns out to be Droopy stalking him again.
* CanadaEh: Where most of the short takes place.
* TheCatCameBack: When Droopy isn't doing flat-out OffscreenTeleportation.
* CrazyPrepared: Droopy has to be a master of psychology to be able to figure out where Wolfie's gone to next.
* DrivenToSuicide: "That's the last straw. I give up — I'm gonna throw myself to the lions!" And the wolf jumps into a lion's stomach, only to find...
-->'''Droopy:''' Crowded, isn't it?
* ExaggeratedTrope: At the end of the short, [[spoiler:the TwinSwitch [[DoingInTheWizard rationalization]] for OffscreenTeleportation is expanded to a whole platoon of Droopys]].
* GenreSavvy: See BehindAStick above.
* GotVolunteered: How Droopy is selected for the mission, due to everyone else stepping backwards.
* InstitutionalApparel: The Wolf's old-school black-and-white striped uniform.
* JawDrop: One of Wolfie's wild takes has his lower jaw hit the ground.
* MagicPlasticSurgery: Wolfie goes to a plastic surgeon to get a new face. After a few seconds of surgery (which involved hammering and sawing), the convict has a new face —that of Droopy. He asks the doctor to change it back and he does. He thanks the doctor--who turns out to be Droopy.
* MindScrew: Part and parcel with the medium, but in particular is when Droopy threw the snowball ''that he was inside''.
* OffscreenTeleportation: [[spoiler:Averted. Those are all just Droopy's lookalike comrades helping him out to catch the wolf.]]
* {{Remake}}: This short is a remake of Droopy's debut, "Dumb-Hounded."
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Wolfie at a few points, such as when he finds out that it was Droopy who threw the snowball (see image at top).
* TalkingWithSigns: Wolfie hides in an isolated cabin, but figures that Droopy will still be there behind his back. He turns around and sees a sign that says "Nope. Too cold."
* TravelMontage: The old 'traveling dot on the map' variation.
* TwistEnding: [[spoiler:Droopy wasn't offscreen teleporting—those were all his identical comrades helping him out.]]
* WildTake: Pretty much half the cartoon. Some of the most over-the-top wild takes in any Avery cartoon.
* XMeetsY: It's "Dumb-Hounded" mixed with Tex's earlier WarnerBros. cartoon "Tortoise Beats Hare".
