Origin[]
Hennery is a kangaroo (voiced by Paul Frees) that speaks with an Australian accent and wears a white collar and green tie. Buckshot Brown entered Hennery into a frog jumping contest instead of a frog in the contest in which he falsely claims Hennery is an Australian frog. When the third part of the episode ended, the narrator concluded the episode by mentioning Hennery to be a kangaroo. Buckshot points his guns at the narrator then grins evilly when the narrator mentions frog instead of kangaroo.
In the last part of the episode, Buckshot mentioned to the judge that there was one contestant left who was Hennery after the judge discovered that Shorty wasn't Hoppity. After Hennery made his jump, Buckshot asked the judge for the prize money. Hoppity was still in the contest, and he told the judge that he demands the frog to make the jump. Buckshot was shocked and upset that Hennery failed to win the contest. Hennery wanted Buckshot to give him the money, but couldn't because Buckshot was dependent on the prize money. Buckshot eventually faced his defeat when he was Hennery's punching bag in a boxing room.
