Plot

In the Old West, Dapper Denver Dooley robs the Third National Bank and escapes on horseback from a sheriff's posse. He hides the stolen money in a tree where Woody Woodpecker is living. Woody runs out of the tree with the bag containing the money, yelling, “Yippee, I’m rich.” Dooley tries to get it back but Woody pulls some gags to prevent it. A posse attempting to follow the bandit finally arrives back in town, and Woody delivers both the money and the bandit to the sheriff.

Notes

Square Shootin' Square marks Dapper Denver Dooley's first appearance, voiced by Dal McKennon. Eventually, Dooley would replace Buzz Buzzard, and in turn, be replaced by Gabby Gator, as Woody's main antagonist in the series.

gollark: GNOME is heresy, so I don't use it.
gollark: I don't think I could read text easily if I had a denser-than-FHD panel (without accursed scaling things).
gollark: Or speakers or trackpad or whatever.
gollark: I can't see what actual *advantage* I would get out of a slightly nicer screen.
