IN AN EXCELLENT use of a basic premise, we have Pluto at odds with a huge and powerful Bulldog. He has accidentally stumbled onto the Bulldog's private abode; which is located either in a building supplies material yard or a plain old junkyard. He soon winds up at odds with the less than friendly occupant of the property.
AND JUST WHAT is the bone of contention between the two belligerents? Well, would you believe that it was a bone?
BEING OUTWEIGHED AND outclassed as a fighter, PLuto resorts to use of his brain power and cunning. His carefully plotted attack calls on using misinformation and decoying the attention of the canine bruiser away from his abode. His diversionary tactics prove to be highly successful.
A RATHER PROLONGED GAG featuring the dog vs. the inanimate object is the main segment of the story. A hand held bicycle-type horn seemingly takes on a life of its own, while it manages to bamboozle first Pluto; until he turns the horn's perplexing powers of befuddlement on the Bulldog. THat tactic winds up leading to Pluto's ultimate victory.
IN THIS PARTICULAR animated short, we have some fine examples of Pluto's most complex personality. Whereas we all think of Pluto as that lovable pup of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy (himself a Dog), he can and very often does display other less than angelic attributes. In this production he behaves and displays a bit of the Devil, himself.
WE GUESS THAT this makes Pluto very much like all of us.
