'''Honest John Gusher''' is a dog like character who owns a plot of land with "oil" beneath it, but in reality he's a con artist who scams people to buy the land as it's really just water sprinklers spraying water, it turns out the two people he scammed were Porky Pig and Gabby Goat. By the end of the cartoon it's revealed that there was actual oil underneath the land, causing him and Porky to fight over the deed, with him being defeated by being sucked into a massive whirlwind of oil due to Gabby Goat's drill getting stuck in his trousers.
