The film takes place in a bullfight arena, where a wolf is preparing for a bullfight. He eyes a magazine with actress Lina Romay
on the cover, and goes crazy over her. In the room next door, Droopy is looking at another copy of the same magazine, and is infatuated with her. The two take part in a bullfight, with the reward being that the winner can have whatever he wants in all of Mexico. The bull is released, but he doesn't take Droopy seriously as an opponent at all as he fights with the wolf instead, and Droopy's attempts to challenge the bull are constantly thwarted.
The cartoon is notable for being a runner-up on the 50 Greatest Cartoons list. Several of the gags were recycled in 1957 Droopy short "One Droopy Knight".
Tropes:
- Abnormal Limb Rotation Range: As the wolf bows to the audience, his upper half does a full 360° turn while his lower half stays still.
- As Herself: Lina Romay appears in person for the ending gag.
- Berserk Button: The normally mellow Droopy does not take kindly to the bull vandalizing his magazine of Lina Romay, and is enraged enough to defeat the bull right then and there.
- The Cameo: Actress Lina Romay makes a brief appearance in the ending.
- Creator Cameo: Tex Avery himself provides the laugh for the bull.
- Hammerspace: The wolf is able to directly spawn a slingshot from behind his red cape, which throws the bull onto a ballerina advertisement nearby.
- Interspecies Romance: Droopy is openly affectionate towards Lina Romay. When Lina appears at the end, she seems to return Droopy's affections. The wolf is also attracted to her, but in a more chauvinistic way.
- Kick the Dog: When Droopy is crying near the end, the bull draws a mustache and beard on Lina Romay's picture to rub it in. This sets off Droopy enough to where he effortlessly beats up the bull and wins the fight.
- Let's Get Dangerous!: The first appearance of Droopy's "You know what? That makes me mad."
- Mustache Vandalism: The bull does this to Droopy's magazine. And regrets it instantly.
- No-Sell: Droopy's tiny sword has no effect on the bull, who just swats him out of the way.
- Overly Long Gag: Literally with the wolf unsheathing his sword, which is hundreds of yards long.
- Roger Rabbit Effect: The ending shot of Droopy and Lina Romay.
- Smug Snake: The Wolf initially presents himself as a cool and capable bullfighter able to embarrass and dispatch the bull with ease. Once, he loses his facade of cool after the bull manages to use the Wolf's sword to poke the Wolf's butt, the Wolf never recovers his cool and spends the rest of the cartoon getting manhandled by the bull, finally knocked out the arena and left unconscious on a cactus.
- Standard Snippet: When Droopy walks into the arena, a snippet of "Mexican Hat Dance" plays. "Quiéreme mucho", "La Cucaracha" and "Sobre las olas (Over the Waves)" appear as well.
- "Take That!" Kiss: When the wolf and bull are fighting, the wolf mockingly smooches the bull at one point.
- That Makes Me Feel Angry: Droopy says "You know what? That makes me mad," without changing his monotone. This would become his catchphrase. At the end, when Droopy is enjoying his triumph with Lina Romay, he says "You know what? I'm happy," in the same monotone.
- Underestimating Badassery: Both the fight's host and the bull himself treat Droopy as little more than an annoyance in the fight. Even after Droopy beats the bull, the host scoffs at the idea that Lina Romay would be interested in Droopy, much to Lina's objections. Somewhat justified in that, prior to Droopy's Berserk Button getting pressed, he very much is little more than an annoyance in the fight.
