Looney Tunes' take on The Defiant Ones, a classic film starring Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis as two escaped convicts, one black and one white, who are shackled together and forced to rely on one another to survive. In this one, Sylvester the cat is shackled to a bulldog in the back of a truck on its way to the pound. When the truck hits a bump in the road, the door flies open and dumps the duo on the road. Now they must work together to survive. So it's like the movie but with humor and obviously without the racial themes (unless you really stretch to find one here). The animation is colorful but that sometimes-scratchy '60s style that I find less-than-ideal but others might not mind. Excellent voice work from Mel Blanc, as always. Great music from Milt Franklyn. Almost all of the humor comes from gags involving the chain connecting the dog and cat and their attempts to break it. It's a funny cartoon, though, and most of the chain gags work well.
