Dudley Do-Right was the 
eponymous hero of a segment on 
The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show which parodied early 20th century 
melodrama and 
silent film. Dudley Do-Right was a 
Canadian Mountie who was always trying to catch his nemesis Snidley Whiplash, and who was so interested in his own horse he scarcely noticed the flirtatious advances of his would-be love interest, Nell.
