Señor Droopy is a 1949 Droopy cartoon directed by Tex Avery.
Plot[]
A bullfight contest between Droopy and The Wolf, staged at the Chili Bowl in Mexico. Both men are told that the winner of the contest will receive anything they want. Both of them want a date with Mexican actress Lina Romay that is pictured on the front page of a magazine they are holding.
Droopy and the Wolf begin battling the bull with the Wolf successfully outsmarting him, but the bull laughs at Droopy and finds him as nothing more than a harmless nuisance and constantly gets rid of him with methods including pushing him aside, turning his hat like a key which sends Droopy away like a wind-up toy and finally attaching Droopy's sword and cape to his clothes as a sail and blowing him away. Droopy then decides to give up and walks slowly home.
The Wolf is finally overpowered by the bull and is thrown clear out of the ring, landing on a cactus. Droopy sees this and grabs the Wolf's cape, deciding to get back in the arena for another try, but the bull keeps pushing him away once again. Droopy rolls to the ground with his magazine falling out of his pocket. Droopy weeps at being a failure and saying goodbye to his dream girl as he looks at Lina Romay's face.
The bull sees this and draws a moustache and goatee on Lina's picture before laughing himself silly. Droopy quietly puts the magazine back in his pocket, marches up to the still laughing bull and says: "You know what? That makes me mad!" He then beats up the bull before hurling him out of the ring, where he lands on the same cactus as the still dazed Wolf.
Droopy has won the contest and the Judge asks him what he wants. Droopy shows him the magazine with Lina Moray's picture (which no longer has the moustache and goatee on it), telling him that she is what he wants. The Judge laughs and says that Lina wouldn't want him.
However he is proven wrong when Droopy is seen with Lina stroking his head and breaking the fourth wall saying: "Oh No?" Droopy then breaks the fourth wall saying: "You know what? I'm happy!"
