A colorized version was produced in South Korea by Fred Ladd, for Sunset Productions, the copyright holder at the time, under the name On Duty. It was made by redrawing the cels and backgrounds. The animation in this version is very inferior, since many drawings were left out, causing jerky movement.

Plot

The cartoon shows police officer Foxy who deals with armed criminals, traffic violations, and his girlfriend's huge dog. The main action involves a group of gangsters kidnapping Foxy's girlfriend while making their getaway; Foxy chases them on a mechanical horse, rescues his girlfriend, and puts the criminals in jail—only to be shot in the back by a crow.

Alternate version

When the cartoon was redrawn colorized in 1973, it was renamed On Duty and featured different music.
