Hook, Line and Stinker is a 1958 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Chuck Jones.
[1] The short was released on October 11, 1958 with The Old Man and the Sea, and stars Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.
The title is a pun on "hook, line and sinker", which means someone has been deceived or tricked.
The familiar chase between Wile E. Coyote (also known as "Famishius-Famishus"), and the Road Runner (or "Burnius-Roadibus), unfolds with its classic slapstick humor.
Despite his elaborate schemes, Coyote's endeavors always end in comedic failure, leaving him battered and defeated while Road Runner speeds off unscathed.
