Henpecked Hoboes

Henpecked Hoboes is a 1946 George and Junior cartoon directed by Tex Avery. It was the first George and Junior cartoon produced by MGM.
Plot
George and Junior are hobos walking along a railroad track silhouetted against a dramatic sunset sky when Junior suddenly announces he is hungry. George spies a hen in a nearby barnyard in the company of a rooster, and the gags ensue.
The basic, recurrent gag is: George conceives a plan to divert the rooster—ultimately sending him to the North Pole on a rocket—and seduce the hen into following him to where Junior will "bop" and truss her for cooking. Invariably, Junior gets confused and clobbers George instead; George then tells him to "bend over" and proceeds to deliver a tremendous kick to Junior's rump.
At the climax, George kicks Junior, the hen kicks George, and the rooster, having finally trekked back from the North Pole, kicks the hen all the way back to the barn.
