One More Time is a 1931 black-and-white Merrie Melodies cartoon short produced by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising and animated by Friz Freleng and Paul J. Smith. It stars Foxy as a Prohibition-era cop dealing with various miscreants. This was the last Foxy cartoon. While Foxy's first two shorts have some plot similarities to those that starred Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, One More Time appears to be an original.

Synopsis

Police officer Foxy deals with armed criminals, traffic violations, and his girlfriend's huge dog. The main action involves a group of gangsters kidnapping Foxy's girlfriend while making their getaway; Foxy chases them on a mechanical horse, rescues his girlfriend, and puts the criminals in jail.

Noticeable flaws

One obvious flaw in the cartoon is the way the star on Foxy's chest appears and disppears unreasonably. These changes occur when Foxy fines the hippo motorist as well as meeting the dog of his girlfriend.

Availability

One More Time is available on disc 3 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6.
