Pluto is in for a surprise when Mickey sends him to buy a salami at the butcher shop, and he has to fight to keep Butch the bulldog from stealing it. When Pluto gets home with the salami, Mickey presents it to Butch as a birthday gift.

“Mickey sends Pluto to go to the butcher shop to buy a piece of sausage and, when coming back home, Butch the bulldog sees Pluto and attempts to steal the sausage. Pluto ends up successfully defending the piece of meat and bringing back home to Mickey, not realizing that the sausage is actually a birthday gift for Butch.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are scatter of funny moments in this cartoon, particularly where Butch runs into fences and things. This is probably the one cartoon where Butch acts the least meanest in. However, even though the sausage was for Butch, he wanted to steal it in the first place, so, it doesnu0026#39;t give the dog much redeeming qualities and the turn-of-events wasnu0026#39;t a very exciting angle for the entire cartoon.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGrade C-“
