Plop Goes the Weasel!

Plop Goes the Weasel! is a 1953 Looney Tunes short directed by Robert McKimson.
== Title ==
The title is a play on the children's nursery rhyme "Pop Goes the Weasel".
== Plot ==
Barnyard Dawg is tasked to guard several baby chicks from being eaten by weasels. Foghorn Leghorn, the dog's supervisor, tells the dog that he is working too hard to protect the chickens, but pranks Dawg by releasing chicks out into the open, forcing the dog to retrieve them back.
Meanwhile, a weasel spots Dawg carrying all the chicks back over to the pen. Wanting to get a meal, the weasel comes up to the dog. With his hands full, Dawg hands over the chicks to the weasel, believing to be Foghorn, but realizes his mistake and forces the weasel to throw all the chicks back at the pen before kicking him out. Foghorn, still up to his mischief, opens up a hole in the fence and releases a chick out of it. After bringing the chick back, Foghorn walks outside of the pen and demands the dog to bring him back where he belongs, so Dawg obliges by sending Foghorn through the small hole.
Noticing the weasel again, Foghorn convinces the weasel to forget the small chicks and go for a big dinner instead. Using syrup and feathers over Dawg, he manages to convince that the Dawg is a chicken. As the weasel brings the dog towards his hole and tries to "defeather" him, Dawg discovers the weasel again and convinces that he needs a real chicken. The two creates a plan to finally catch Foghorn, and uses a mallet to make the rooster dizzily walk to the weasel's hole.
