Lovelorn Leghorn

The other hens in the barn tease Miss Prissy because she does not have a husband and have mocked her for being unable to find one. Prissy sets out with a rolling pin in her hand to find one. Meanwhile, Barnyard Dawg sees a relaxing Foghorn Leghorn and dumps cold water on the rooster, beginning a feud between the two.

Meanwhile, Miss Prissy spots Foghorn, but she ends up whacking him with a rolling pin. As Foghorn is angered, Miss Prissy cries, but Foghorn instead insists that she's trying to find a husband, and that good wives don't hit other's heads with a rolling pin. However, Foghorn uses this to get back at Dawg, with Miss Prissy as his lackey. Prissy first lures Dawg using a melon, causing the dog to chases after the hen. Foghorn comes in as a football player and after getting the melon passed to him, he smashes it onto Dawg's head and uses him as a football field goal. As Prissy then tries to claim the dog, Dawg tells him that he's not a rooster and that Prissy needs to catch a real rooster. Assembling a rube goldberg machine, Foghorn ends up starting the machine himself which starts the contraption, ending up with a cannonball dropped on the head.

Prissy returns with a picnic basket, where Foghorn is stuffed inside. The other hens attempts to mock her again if she found a husband, and a dizzy Foghorn pops out of the picnic basket stating that she did, as Prissy hugs Foghorn.

Notes[]

This is the first pairing of Foghorn Leghorn and Miss Prissy, who debuted in the Porky Pig cartoon "An Egg Scramble" the previous year. Initially in these cartoons, Miss Prissy has a crush on Foghorn Leghorn, who doesn't reciprocate her affections, though in later cartoons, Foghorn pursues Miss Prissy for selfish reasons.
This cartoon was used in Daffy Duck's Movie: Fantastic Island, but the ending was changed so that Miss Prissy would carry Foghorn in a wheelbarrow as they leave the wishing well.
This cartoon was screened in November 1950.^[2]
This is the final cartoon Eugene Poddany composed music for in the series, as Carl Stalling returned following recovery from brain surgery.^[3]
This is the first Foghorn Leghorn and Barnyard Dawg pairing short to not feature Henery Hawk.
