Bars and Stripes

Bars and Stripes is the 7th episode of the 4th season (55th episode overall) of The Huckleberry Hound Show
== Plot ==
Huckleberry Hound is the warden of Alkatrash Prison, trying to get inmate Fats Dynamo to leave prison.
== Synopsis ==
The cartoon opens with the narrator introducing Alkatrash Prison, and how it's "the toughest prison in the world", as nobody has ever left the prison. He goes on to introduce Huck, the warden of the prison, who then jokes, "Plannin’ to hang around long?" and laughs it off. Huck explains that the reason why nobody wants to leave the prison is because of the "honor system", which means he has anything anyone could ever ask for, like swimming pools, movies, baseball games, and even a fun-land known as "Alkatrash-land", with rides, cotton candy and wool fudge to keep prisoners happy. Huck then gets an emergency phone call, and is informed that prisoner 054678, who's name is Fats Dynamo won’t leave his cell. Huck races to the scene, and then climbs and balances on a ladder reaching Fats’ barred window. Fats then tips over the ladder, causing Huck to fall off. Huck's next attempt is to use a rope to lower himself to the cell window. However, Fats cuts the rope, causing Huck to fall again. Huck expected it and has a net to catch his fall. Instead, the net acts as a trampoline that boosts Huck back up to the window. But Fats is smart and hands him a bowling ball. The ball is so heavy that it causes Huck to fall once again, and crash through the net. Huck then gets yet another idea. He chews on some bubble gum to make a balloon and float up. But Fats is too quick, and stops him once more. He punctures the bubble, and Huck plummets yet again. He attempts to make another bubble, but fails as he crashes to the ground. Huck then puts suction cups on his hands and feet to be able to climb up to the window “just like a human fly.” But Fats then pulls out his “human fly swatter” and swats him. Down goes Huck yet again. Huck gets one more idea. He yells that it’s time for chow, and despite having an ice box in his cell, Fats rushes to the Chow Hall where he’s stopped (off camera) by a guard. At last, Fatz is free from his cell. The cartoon ends with the guard and Huck carrying Fats outside the prison, but Fats and the guard run back inside and close the iron doors, leaving Huck to bang on them from outside. “Open up I suggest or I’m gonna have the law on you,” cries our hero as the iris closes, ending the cartoon.
