A Smith named Pete narrates this short subject about animal acts. While there's a trained bear and a chimpanzee, it's mostly about dog acts: cute puppies, and a dog who leaps into a trapeze, and former acrobat Paul Sydell and his troupe of dogs, including him training them... except for the tail, untrainable as a cowlick.
Although there's a cute girl to distract the audience, and the slide whistle comes into play, this isn't one of Pete's better short subjects. His trademark snark is muted by the cuteness of it all. In addition, this one seems padded. All of Pete's shorts may be subject to that knock. They were intended to pad out a film program.show or what?
