Hairied and Hurried is a 1965 Merrie Melodies short directed by Rudy Larriva.

Plot[]

While Wile E. Coyote roasts a shoe over a campfire, Road Runner passes, and he chases after the bird, but eventually runs out of energy. Wile E. orders an assortment of gadgets from ACME in order to catch his prey.

  1. Wile E. orders a snow machine, covers the road with snow, and posts a "Chains Required" sign. He puts out a supply of free roadrunner-sized chains and tests one with his magnet gun, but gets pulled into a snowblower and ejected onto a rock.
  2. The coyote flies a kite over the road, reels up a practice bomb, and shakes the kite to drop it. It works, however, when he uses a real bomb, it just slides down the string onto Wile E., blowing him up.
  3. Wile E. attempts to skydive into Road Runner directly, but the cloud on the road below is not Road Runner but a small twister. The dazed coyote throws off his parachute bag in anger, only to walk off a cliff.
  4. A trap wall is installed in the middle of the road. Wile E. sets the trap, but gets his fingers stuck in between the retracted wall and the road. Eventually, a truck rams into Wile E., and the trap wall activates, sending the coyote into a rock formation, dislodging another boulder, which bashes him on the head.
  5. Wile E. uses an extending metal arm with a stick of dynamite attached to the end. The device knocks him backwards onto another rock wall, dropping yet another boulder atop of him. The dynamite stick also rolls under the boulder as Wile E. tries to blow out the fuse.
  6. Wile E. learns karate. He successfully chops a cactus in half. When he hears beeping on the road, he jumps out to attack, but he karate chops an ACME van instead of Road Runner.

As the dazed coyote is stuck on the front of the truck in confusion, Road Runner is riding in the back and beeps.
