Plot[]
Snidely Whiplash hatches a new cunning plan, printing his own local newspaper with an article in it claiming that Snidely is actually Dudley Do-Right’s long-lost brother. When Dudley sees the newspaper, he decides that it must be true because it is in the newspaper. Inspector Fenwick orders Dudley to bring Snidely in, but when he sees him laying a bomb outside the hotel, he runs up and showers Snidely with kisses. The bomb goes off, leaving both looking turn-up.
Unable to break the Mounty code, Dudley bring Snidely in, but resigns from the Force, so that he can rehabilitate Snidely. He fixes up Snidely shack, and even dresses him up in a Lord Fauntleroy suit. Snidely realizes that living with Do-Right will drive him crazy, so he orders Homer to create a new newspaper with a retraction, saying that the story about Snidely and Dudley being brothers was a mistake. Sadly, when the paper arrives, Dudley refuses to read the headlines, as he finds them too depressing.
When Nell Fenwick goes to try to convince Dudley to return to the R.C.M.P. camp, Dudley refuses, but gives her several lumps of sugar to give to his horse. When he takes some newspaper to wrap the cubes, he sees the headline retraction, and realizes that he is the victim of a hoaz. Dudley pounces on Snidely, and returns to the Mounties. However, when Inspector Fenwick asks him if he has brought Snidely in, he replies that he didn’t but he did bring in Snidely’s mustache.
Lastly we see Snidely with his nose bandaged and his upper lip torn, talking to Homer. He expresses that it was all worth it to escape living with Dudley.
