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 sneaks up and carefully pulls away Pluto's bowl which contains the bone from him and takes it 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 and takes the bone back.
Soon after, Pluto goes back to sleep and soon begins sleepwalking and, while in this state, gives his bone to Dinah, but every time he wakes up, he thinks she has stolen it again, and angrily takes it back. Pluto finally snaps when he catches her trying to burry the bone, and not only chases her back to her doghouse, but also destroys the house in rage.
It is here that Pluto makes a shocking discovery, Dinah has puppies, and now have no shelter (it begins to rain and the puppies desperately attempt to cover themselves under their mother). Overcome with guilt for his actions, Pluto quickly gives Dinah and her puppies his doghouse to stay in, along with a pile of his bones. Greatful, Dinah gives Pluto a kiss, and an overjoyed Pluto happily goes back to sleep in the rain.
