[edit] Plot
Sheriff Abner and Deputy Ewalt, a pair of dim-witted Old West stereotypes, are bored one afternoon. They decide to relieve their boredom by hanging someone, and advertise for villains—Enter Ren ("Three-Fingered Höek") and Stimpy ("Stupid the Kid"). The pair enters town in the hopes of picking up some odd jobs (specifically, pillaging and looting). They spot Abner and Ewalt's advertisement, and apply.
Ren and Stimpy are instructed to steal one of Abner's horses, but end up taking his wife instead. Their second attempt is more successful, and they end up stealing a willing Mr. Horse. Ren and Stimpy are brought to the gallows, but can't be hung because Ren is too light and Stimpy has no neck. Abner and Ewalt decide to hang each other, and the episode ends with all four performing the musical number, "The Lord Loves a Hangin".

[edit] Notes, Goofs, and Trivia
- This is the first episode to have the animation entirely done by Carbunkle Cartoons.
- Music similar to the "Final Jeopardy Song" plays whenever Abner and Ewalt are thinking. The DVD captions even say, "(Jeopardy-like Theme Playing)".
- The song was cut out from the UK version of the "Seasons 1 and 2" DVD.

- (Ren and Stimpy had just stolen Mr. Horse, who brings the two on his back over to the two sherriffs) Mr. Horse: Hey boss, these two just stole me and....well sir, I don't like it. (Turns around and Ren and Stimpy lock eyes with the two sherriffs. Brief pause) They're horse thieves, you morons!

[edit] Plot
This cartoon features Ren and Stimpy selling rubber nipples door to door. It also features Mr. Horse's Rubber walrus protectors, with an abused walrus requesting Ren and Stimpy to "call the police." The bizarre non sequitur Bull riding last scene is borrowed from the end of a Three Stooges short.

[edit] Notes, Goofs, and Trivia
- The Nick executives were uncomfortable releasing this episode on Nick because of the word "Nipple." In fact, they had Spumco put the word "rubber" in to be safe.
- There was a scene where Ren and Stimpy try to sell rubber nipples to George Liquor, but Nick made Spumco use a different version with Mr. Horse.
- This was the first cheap Ren and Stimpy cartoon.
- The rubber nipple truck plays "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy" from "Stimpy's Invention".
- Nickelodeon wanted Spumco to cut out the ending, which made Nick asking Spumco, "Why did you put bulls in?", and Spumco responded, "If it worked for The Three Stooges, it'll work for us."
[edit] Quotes
- Walrus: Call the police!
