One More Time is a 1931 Merrie Melodies short directed by Rudolf Ising.
== Plot ==
Police officer Foxy dodges traffic to deal with a man in a trash can with a machine gun. When Foxy pulls the trigger of his own gun, it extends a mouse holding a hammer, which bops the criminal on the head. A hippopotamus lady and a mouse get road rage and pass each other. The hippo runs over Foxy, but he catches up to her and writes her a ticket. He swings around his nightstick as he walks by Roxy's and accidentally hits himself on the head. She laughs at him, then her dog, who looks remarkably like Bruno, starts licking his face while she plays piano.
A little bird gangster robs a wealthy hippo man, so Foxy chases him. Policemen from the station pile into a squad car to join the chase. They crank a cat's tail for a siren. The little bird drives his tiny car into a pipe, but it comes out giant-sized on the other end, and three big tough guys are now riding in the back. One of them spits and knocks Foxy backwards, then he throws a grenade to blow up the police car. They kidnap Roxy, but Foxy chases them on a mechanical horse from an arcade. He grabs Roxy from their car and rides into the jail. The gangsters follow them in. Foxy and Roxy escape through the sewer, emerge from a manhole in the street, and slam the door to lock up the criminals. Foxy and Roxy rejoice, until a crow comes up through the same manhole and shoots Foxy in the back.

== Notes ==
* This is the final appearance of both Foxy and Roxy in a theatrical short.
* Alongside the 1995 "redrawn" version done by Turner Entertainment, an earlier retraced colorized version was produced in the 1970s by Radio & Television Packagers, renamed "On Duty" (likely sourced from an Astra TV print). The print used had no soundtrack, so stock music was used instead.
* This cartoon entered the public domain in 1959 due to United Artists failing to renew the copyright.
