The Lone Stranger and Porky

The Lone Stranger and Porky is a 1939 Looney Tunes short directed by Robert Clampett.
== Plot ==
The Lone Stranger is sleeping when his faithful, if overly-caricatured, Indian scout sees stagecoach driver Porky being robbed by a bad guy. The scout summons the Lone Stranger, who rides to the rescue. The bad guy goes after him, and briefly, the narrator, but just in the nick of time, the Lone Stranger recovers and conquers the bad guy. Meanwhile, Silver and the villain's horse have been having their own close encounter, and Silver returns with several little colts.

== Censorship ==
* The Nickelodeon version cuts the scene where the villain fires his gun at the Lone Stranger and misses, followed by the narrator getting shot after calling the villain a "plug shot".http://www.intanibase.com/gac/looneytunes/censored-k-l.aspx
* The version shown on Merrie Melodies Starring Bugs Bunny & Friends on FOX cuts the part where The Lone Stranger talks to his Indian companion, Pronto, in the mirror.
== Notes ==
* Porky Pig does not speak in this short.
* The redrawn colorized version used the incorrect 1937-1938 opening title and 1937-1938 opening music instead of the correct 1938-1939 opening and 1938-1941 opening music.
* This is one of the redrawn colorized cartoons that used original theatrical opening and closing titles but retraced.
* Ray Katz appears on a wanted poster. Next to him is a wanted poster for “Cob Blampett”.
* This cartoon is a spoof of the only theatrical Lone Ranger cartoon ever made, in which the Lone Ranger and Tonto foil a stagecoach robbery.
* The footage of the Lone Ranger riding in the desert was reused in "The Film Fan".
