Injun Trouble (1969 film)

Cool Cat is driving to the town of Hotfoot one day, when his route happens to take him through an Indian reservation. Two scouts spot him and one of them gives chase, only to fall into a chasm when the weight of him and his horse causes the makeshift bridge to collapse (even though it had carried Cool Cat and his car without trouble). Cool Cat rescues them and continues his journey. As he drives along, he encounters more Native Americans in the following scenarios.

• Cool Cat is first stopped by a Native American man who gives his obese daughter away, much to Cool Cat's frustration.
• Although the next two Native Americans are not seen by Cool Cat, the first attempts to paint a stripe on his teepee, but quits in frustration after he finds that he failed to paint it in a complete circle. The second paints a face on an aluminum pail and puts it over his head, calling himself a "pail-face".
• Cool Cat finds a bow and arrow on the ground, and he uses the bow to fire the arrow into the sky, reciting, "I shot an arrow into the air; it fell to Earth, I know not where." An agitated Native American man with an arrow in his scalp approaches Cool Cat, saying he knows where it fell, and punches Cool Cat in the nose.
• We then see a Native American using a stenograph-like device to create smoke signals which read "Cool Cat go home".
• Cool Cat is then stopped by a more attractive woman that invites him for an "Indian Wrestle" - which turns out to be a fight with a man who is far larger than Cool Cat.
• Cool Cat is stopped by a Groucho Marx imitator who asks him, "Why?". Cool Cat remarks that he thought Native Americans asked "how". The Native American pulls out a cigar, remarks with a Groucho impression, "Me know how, now I wanna know why.", and walks away.
• Cool Cat is stopped by one last Native American who asks him to hold his shirt. When Cool Cat asks why, the Native American states he is literally riding "bareback" and leaves on a horse.

Finally arriving in Hotfoot, Cool Cat spots two horses playing with human shoes, a "Horse Doctor" who really is an equine, and a showdown between two gunslingers that ends with one's belt being shot, causing his pants to drop. After that, Cool Cat spots a "Topless Saloon" and heads in, but finds out that the only topless person in there is the bartender, a rather burly man. An outlaw named Gower Gulch then arrives and seemingly challenges Cool Cat to a duel, but then settles for a game of poker. Cool Cat gets a good hand with four Aces, only for Gulch to get a Royal Flush and subsequently pull out his six shooter. Announcing that he is "cutting out," Cool Cat produces a pair of scissors and cuts a hole out of the background, which he then disappears into. He then reappears for a moment and ends the cartoon (and the original series' run) with the words "So cool it now, ya hear?"

Owing to controversy over its stereotyping of Native Americans (and some racy puns such as "Indian wrestling" with a curvy Native American woman and the "topless saloon"), the cartoon has never been shown by U.S. television broadcasters such as Cartoon Network, or released on video. While bootleg versions are available (most commonly with a timecode on the image), it is one of the rarest of all Warner Bros. cartoons,[3] owing to the relative unpopularity of cartoons from this era of the studio (unlike the "Censored Eleven," which were produced during the studio's heyday).
