What Is Hook, Line and Stinker About?
The premise of Hook, Line and Stinker without spoilers.
Wile E. Coyote devises a series of elaborate traps—including a mallet, a cooking pan, a stick of TNT, a balloon, and a piano he drops from a precipice—in an attempt to finally capture the Road Runner. The piano stunt backfires, sending the coyote and the instrument crashing onto the road, leaving him comically wounded and with his 88 teeth knocked out.
