Stokey the Bear is the 2nd episode of season 1 of Dudley Do-Right of the Mounties. It originally aired as a segment in The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends (Season 1, Episode 16).

Plot[]

When the lumberjacks working Mount Upp prepare to go to work, they are surprised to see the entire forest go up in flames. Not only that, the lumber camp and everything on Mount Upp was on fire. It seems that Stokey, who used to lead the fight against forest fires, was now under the hypnotic influence of Snidely Whiplash, and was now leading the fight for forest fires.

Constable Dudley Do-Right soon picks up Stokey’s trail (a trail of burning forests), and follows him into Quebec, and into a firehouse. The chief assembles his men, so Do-Right can pick out Stokey, but the only thing that he notices about this 700 pound bear in a fireman’s uniform is that he, “didn’t shave this morning.”

When the fire bell rings, the firemen rush out, only to find that it was actually their firehouse that was on fire. While the men are fighting the fire, Do-Right spots Stokey roasting marshmallows, and pursues him onto the roof of the building. By now, the building is burning out of control, but Do-Right rushes in to rescue the bear.

Having pleaded Stokey’s case, Do-Right takes Stokey for a change of scenery, to Chicago. There Stokey starts a major fire, and Do-Right convinces Mrs. O’Leary to blame it on her cow.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first episode to not include Nell Fenwick.
  • Early in the episode, it mentions trees as being a major source of income for both Canada and Joyce Kilmer. Alfred Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918) was an American poet who is most remembered for his 1913 poem, Trees.
  • When Snidely Whiplash is first seen, the title card reports that he is played by “Al Bumen.” Albumen is the white of an egg.
  • The closing references to a fire in Chicago and Mrs. O'Leary suggests that it was actually Stokey that started the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.
  • This episode was banned in the United States after its initial airing, due to a protest lodged by the U.S. Forest Service, which did not like the cartoon's parody of Smokey the Bear.
