Plot
The cartoon shows police officer Foxy who deals with armed criminals, traffic violations, and Roxy's huge dog. The main action involves a group of gangsters kidnapping Roxy while making their getaway; Foxy chases them on a mechanical horse, rescues Roxy, and puts the criminals in jail—only to be shot in the back by a crow.
A copy of the short was sent to South Korea in 1973 to be redrawn in color, being renamed On Duty. However, the copy was missing its audio. As a result, the short was filled with stock music and sound effects and contained no dialogue.
One More Time is available on Disc 3 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 6.
