curfew

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'many when everybody is supposed to be indoors' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'the dog doesn't' is the wordplay.
'the dog' becomes 'cur' (both can mean a despicable person).
'doesn't' becomes 'few' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'cur'+'few'='CURFEW'

'get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for curfew that I've seen before include "Order restricting movements after a set time" , "Early closing time imposed by military" , "Restriction on nocturnal movement" , "Order restricting time not at home" , "Regulation restricting movement at night" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
