He finds a big bone in the yard next door, guarded by a sleeping Butch the bulldog. Pluto has a plan and digs under the fence. When he is in Butch's yard, he sneaks past a tree and goes underneath a tire. Pluto grabs the bone but Butch eventually wakes up. Pluto goes back to his own yard to enjoy the bone. Butch shows up and wants the bone back. Pluto tries to trick Butch but he caught on. A chase pursues around town and into an empty carnival. The air currents from the chase makes a poster of a belly dancer looked like it was dancing. The chase goes through a "Tunnel of Love" ride to reverse the chase. Pluto hides in a hall of mirrors attraction where he amuses himself with the reflections. Pluto uses the mirror to transform into various animals.
