Plot

Pluto is seen, happily sleeping while licking his bone. Dinah the Dachshund (in her first cartoon appearance), watching from a hole in a fence also wants the bone too, so she closes up and carefully pulls Pluto's bowl which contains the bone away from him and to herself. Pluto's tongue detects that the bone is gone before he wakes up and is shocked to see that Dinah is licking his bone. Furious, Pluto chases after Dinah through the neighbourhood starts sleepwalking and, while in this state, gives his bone to Dinah the Dachshund, but every time he wakes up, he cannot seem to understand how Dinah got a hold of his bone and wants it back.
