It's double the fun as Droopy and his twin brother Drippy were tasked to watch over a very upscale mansion. Droopy wants to invite Spike to stay over, who's hoping to filter off some food. But, Drippy is abiding by a "no strangers allowed" policy and slaps and punches Spike around silly.There's some funny slapstick stuff and some surprises, especially since Spike doesn't realize Droopy has a twin. A pretty good cartoon overall.Grade B+

This is different in that we get two Droopy dogs: he and his twin brother "Drippy." In this story, Droopy is working for a butler in a big mansion and the butler is going to be away for a few days. He needs a replacement and Droopy gets Drippy to handle the chores. Drippy sounds like Droopy but is a lot more physical. You can tell by the little derby on his head which tough guys apparently used to wear in the 30s and 40s. You can also tell when Drippy enters the mansion by punching holes through the door!No stranger is allowed in the house is the rule number one, Drippy is told. Guess who wants to hide in the house for a few days? Yup, our old friend "Spike." My favorite bad guy-bulldog also has a derby and speaks with an Irish accent in this cartoon! He made me laugh just listening to him. He's always funny as it is but an Irish brogue, he's really good! Spike's first plan is to hoodwink Drippy into giving him food. He gets his answer quickly, belted a few hundred yards with Drippy's only remark being "no strangers."The gag for most of the cartoon is Drippy doing his job of making sure there are "no strangers" while Droopy being a nice guy and trying to help the big dog. All the time, the poor bulldog has no idea Droopy has that slugger for a twin brother. All he knows is that one minute everything is good, the next minute he's getting clobbered. Whatever.....it's funny material and I actually felt sorry for poor, clueless Spike who takes some brutal (but laugh- out-loud) beatings! p.s. His double-take at the end of the cartoon is one of the best I've seen.

Droopy is the butler at a very rich mansion. His boss, Mr. Jeeves, wants him to find someone to look after the house while he is away, so who should Droopy call on but his twin brother Drippy, who happens to hang out at O'Brien's gymnasium. In pops Spike, an Irish bulldog trying to put the squeeze on Droopy. Unfortunately, Spike is a little too hasty in his eagerness, and fails to realize that there is another little dog in the mansion, with the explicit instructions of 'no strangers'. This leads to a series of rapid-fire slapstick type gags, not the least of which is Spike getting hit over the head with a Louisville slugger, to which the Irish dog says: "Okay, gimme that shillelagh!" Haven't laughed this hard in years.

This short is an energetic little cartoon that introduces a twin brother of Droopy's for the first (and only) time to hilarious, if predictable effect. Good effort that makes Droopy a more interesting character. Well worth watching, even if it isn't one of Avery's best. Recommended.
