Description:  The Dudley Do-Right Show is an animated series that spoofs melodramas, following the adventures of the dim-witted but cheerful Canadian Mountie, Dudley Do-Right. He is devoted to catching his nemesis, the villainous Snidely Whiplash, and rescuing Inspector Fenwick's daughter, Nell Fenwick, with whom he is in love. Dudley's success in these endeavors often comes down to sheer luck or the competence of his horse, "Horse," while Nell is often shown to be more affectionate towards the horse than the Mountie.

Premise: Dudley Do-Right is the only Mountie in his regiment, taking orders from Inspector Fenwick and constantly foiling the evil plots of Snidely Whiplash.
