This is an Inspector short from DePatie-Freleng. There will be spoilers ahead:
This is a reasonably good Inspector short, which has The Inspector biting off somewhat more than he can chew. He handcuffs himself to an enormous criminal named "Toulouse the Moose", who can toss The Inspector around like a rag doll.
An escape is inevitable and most of the gags arise from the "Moose" running and dragging an unwilling Inspector behind him. A few of the gags echo a Warner Brothers short, "D'Fightin' Ones", itself a spoof on the film The Defiant Ones. Given that Friz Freleng directed the Warner short, the echos are understandable.
The ending is very good and stems from a gag taken directly from the earlier short, though the final gag is not at all similar between the two shorts.
This short is on one of two DVDs containing all 34 shorts in the Inspector series. The DVDs are well worth getting.
