Ep 20. Dog Gone South

In Looney Tunes season 1950 episode 20, titled "Dog Gone South," viewers are treated to a hilarious adventure with one of the most iconic characters in the franchise: Yosemite Sam. The episode opens with Sam, the rough and tough cowboy, standing at the entrance to his home, grumbling about the fact that he's gotten bored with the wild west and wants to head east. However, before he has the chance to pack his bags and hit the road, he gets an unexpected surprise in the form of a traveling salesman. The salesman tries to sell Sam an array of products, but it's a set of maps that catches the cowboy's eye.

Sam is intrigued by a map of the southern part of the United States, with a mysterious X marking the spot. The salesman tries to warn Sam that the region is inhabited by a fiercely territorial clan of hillbillies, but this only seems to pique Sam's interest further. Before he knows it, he's setting off on a journey to find the treasure marked on the map, with his trusty hunting dog at his side.

The journey is not an easy one, and along the way, Sam and his dog encounter a number of challenges. They come across a bridge guarded by a fierce bulldog, but instead of crossing it, Sam decides to blast a tunnel through the mountain. This leads them to a comical encounter with a group of Native Americans who mistake them for a traveling medicine show. Sam tries to prove that he's not a snake oil salesman by demonstrating a variety of products, including a hair growth tonic that hilariously backfires.

Finally, Sam and his dog arrive at the location of the treasure. However, their celebration is short-lived when they realize that they've accidentally wandered onto the land of the aforementioned hillbilly clan. The hillbillies immediately set upon Sam and his dog, who are forced to make a daring escape. They use a combination of cunning and brute force to outsmart the hillbillies, culminating in a thrilling showdown that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.

Despite the danger and excitement of their journey, Sam ultimately comes away empty-handed. The treasure has eluded him once again, and he's left to reflect on the journey. However, as he and his dog make their way back home, Sam seems to have had a change of heart. He realizes that there's plenty of adventure to be had in the wild west, and that sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.

Overall, "Dog Gone South" is a classic Looney Tunes episode that's sure to delight viewers of all ages.
