Taking a page from MGM's Droopy Dog . . .
. . . Universal presents Professor or Doctor or Inspector or Agent Willow Bee as an equally blase dead-pan hang-dog self-assured confident omnipotent space-shifting operative. During ROUGH AND TUMBLEWEED, Willow Bee again plays fast and loose with the Fourth Wall, making snide remarks directly to his viewers, if any. Pretty Boy McCoy is no relative of Floyd the Demon Barber of May-Berry Street, damaging himself with his violent tendencies more than the Pinkerton-type sleuth persistently stalking him. This dogged pursuit continues through the close of the picture. Droopy would be impressed. Or not.
