Plot

Yippee, Yappee and Yahooey are dogs who serve the King as his Royal Guards. They are usually called the goofy guards by the king. They must always protect, serve and obey the King. They are loosely based on the Three Musketeers. [2] The King doesn't like calling them, due to their incompetence the King ends up being accidentally hurt, bruised, squashed, and involved in various disasters in each episode. At times, the three heroes find themselves fighting a fire-breathing dragon and other villains. A common mistake in nearly every short is that Yippee, Yappee and Yahooey's voices tend to get mixed up with one another. Irving Berlin wrote a stage show while in the Army during World War I entitled "Yip Yip Yaphank" at Camp Yaphank from which names were taken for this cartoon.[ citation needed ] Yahooey spoke very much like Jerry Lewis.

Episode list

The show had 23 episodes of 6 minutes each.
