Well Oiled is the 24th animated cartoon short subject in the Woody Woodpecker series.[2] Released theatrically on June 30, 1947, the film was produced by Walter Lantz Productions and distributed by Universal Pictures.[3]

The billboard seen while Woody is driving through the countryside features an ad for Walter Lantz's New Funnies Magazine featuring Andy Panda and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.[3]

Plot[]

Enjoying a drive through the Giant Redwoods, Woody Woodpecker runs out of gas. He tries to foil police officer Wally Walrus after siphoning some from his cop car. Unfortunately, he's observed by the cop, and the chase is on. Woody eludes the cop temporarily by ducking into a service station and disguising himself as an old man. When the cop asks for water, Woody uses the fire hose, then runs him through a huge wringer at the car laundry. A duel fought with grease guns gives Woody a chance to thoroughly grease the law, but he makes one slip and winds up with himself well oiled.
