This ain't exactly a send-up of, say for example, Car 54, Where Are You?, but it's not one of Daffy Duck or Porky Pig's best efforts, either.
"Corn on The Cop" borrows its title from a 1934 live-action short that featured Shemp Howard, but it's a completely different plot. Porky & Daffy are patrol cops who get confused when a thief is dressed exactly like Granny (voiced here by Joan Gerber instead of June Foray). This would be the final appearance of Porky and Granny for a long time to come.
The gag that carries the story is the confusion, because it's obvious to the viewer what the differences are, including the thief wearing a mask and puffing on a cigar, something the oblivious cops can't see. To think it would be 30 years before we'd see Granny again (Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, with June Foray returning to the role).
Rating: B---.
