Plot
Sheriff Hoot Kloot is a diminutive, short-tempered lawman who tries to maintain order in a remote western town. He is aided by his loyal horse Fester whom Kloot refers to simply as "Horse". Fester remains Kloot's honest and faithful friend, often giving the Sheriff the benefit of his homespun wisdom while battling various outlaws including Crazywolf, a looney sheep-stealing wolf.{{cite book | last = Beck | first = Jerry | author-link = Jerry Beck | title = Pink Panther: The Ultimate Guide to the Coolest Cat in Town | publisher = Dorling Kindersley, Ltd. | year = 2006 | location = New York, New York | pages = 52–53 | isbn = 0-7566-1033-8}}
