Spoilers ahead
Pluto, Lee Millar the hungry dog, wakes up in his dog house to find that the birds — including Bird Chirps, Clarence Nash — have eaten his dish. He hears a snore from the next-door fence, where Butch the Bulldog sleeps with a bone he guards closely. Quietly and with a careful paw, Pluto schemes to steal the bone without waking the big sleeper, sidestepping between trees and tires as he edges closer to his prize. After a couple of patient attempts, he finally grabs the bone and tucks it away, but the moment he does, an angry Butch roars to wakefulness and give chase.
