Hook, Lion & Sinker is a Disney animated short featuring Donald Duck, who appears as a fisherman, and Louie the Mountain Lion. This is the second episode to feature Louie and the first and only episode where he is revealed to have a son. The film's plot centers on the lions trying to steal Donald's trophy fish catch.
Plot
Louie the Mountain Lion is having trouble catching fish. His son cones out of their den and plays a trick on him by making him think he has caught a fish. When Louie realizes it's a joke, he spanks his son and confines him to the cave. His son comes back out and sees Donald returning to his house with a catch of fish. One of them falls off and Louie's son catches it and brings it back to his dad. Louie finally is able to catch a fish, but upon seeing his son's much larger fish he decides to go to Donald's house to get more. However, they realize they will have to have to approach undetected, as any intruder lion will be shot and have its head cut off and mounted. Louie tries to get his paw in but Donald lifts off a stove lid which burns Louie's paw.
Louie's son laughs at him, but Louie tells him to be quiet and tries again. However, Donald was expecting his as he fires at Louie, putting gun shells in Louie's rear end. Louie's son removes them, much to the pain of Louie.
The lions try again to get some fish, but Louie tries to get even with his son by making him go in and get any bullets fired by Donald. Again, the plan is unsuccessful, but Louie's son escapes getting fired at. Louie, fed up with his babbling, puts him in a barrel and tries yet again. The plan is successful, with Louie raising the fish up on a hook out of the chimney, until he takes a fish right out of Donald's hands and knocks him against the ceiling. Donald goes for his gun again and shoots Louie, provoking his son to remove the shells from inside the barrel Louie is sitting on. The lions' final plan to get the fish is successful but they take Donald (and all his clothes off in the process) and Donald's gun as well. In the chaos, Donald gets his gun and clothes back and shoots Louie in the rear again. The two outrun the shells until thwarted by the walls of their cave, after which Louie is his in the rear again and his son removes the shells from his bottom.
