Scout Porky leads his wagon train through the territory of that most dreaded of "red-skinned savages," Injun Joe. Occasionally, he runs into the cross-eyed, gooney-looking pioneer Sloppy Moe, who knows a secret which can save Porky and the wagon train, but "won't tell" until the very last minute.

Production notes

A color remake of 1938's "Injun Trouble."

At the end, the "iris" begins to close as Sloppy Moe and Porky shake hands (after Moe finishes tickling Injun Joe). Injun Joe yells "WAIT!" and the iris opens again. Joe says "Do 'um some more!", and Sloppy Moe starts tickling him again. Then the "iris" closes for good.

The first screen credit for J. C. Melendez, later to gain fame as producer Bill Melendez.

One of my very favorite "politically-incorrect" cartoons.......and how wrong-headed it WAS on American history!! Sloppy Moe is one of the all-time great Warner supporting characters.

What a great cartoon. Injun Joe shooting the chewed up bullet pack is just classic. My favorite part was Injun Joe falling through the ground and creating the United States. Did he fall into the Grand Canyon??
