The Complete Pluto

This short features an infamous Mammy Two-Shoes who is fluent in Ebonics. The short focuses mainly on Figaro causing trouble and making messes that the mammy has to clean up along with his attempts to catch Cleo for supper.

If there's one things cats hate more than dogs, it's baths. Unfortunately, it's time for Figaro's, and Minnie goes all out with bubbles, some perfume, and a little red bow. The other cats laugh at him, a fight gets him dirtier than before, and it's back into the bathtub once again.

Over on Outpost No. 5, Pluto takes on the job of Mail Dog, delivering packages in the Arctic cold. He picks up a stray rabbit who is after his body heat, and the ensuing chase leads to the twosome reaching the mail carrier's on time.

It's springtime and Pluto's warblings sound more like a gloomy winter dirge than the joyful chants of a bright and warm season. He finds his way to a music store, where his tail and mouth become the needle and speaker of a record player. With this newfound talent, he enchants a bevy of female dogs with his own creative lip-synch of "You Belong To My Heart" (previously found in The Three Caballeros, later made popular by Bing Crosby).

Pluto is back in the Arctic and now employed as a rescue dog. There, he runs into a rather familiar seal (of Mickey and the Seal) who would rather have Pluto play with him than go about his duties. Unfortunately for Pluto, he winds up beneath a sheet of ice on a frozen lake and is in need of rescue himself.

After mistakenly believing that Figaro ate the canary Frankie, Minnie banishes him outside. However, a run-in with Butch scares Figaro back inside, where he watches Frankie be terrorized by the pit bull. After a few prompts from his conscience, Figaro decides to save Frankie, and Minnie welcomes both back.

Pluto wakes up and finds his bone is gone, so he must deduce where he buried it. Soon it becomes Pluto versus hay fever, as the small rodent who took his bone learns to wave around pollen in order to keep Pluto from reacquiring it.

A young cardinal (or maybe a generic red bird) wishes to fly with the others, but can barely stay airborne. He lands in Pluto's water dish, and Pluto takes it upon himself to return him to the nest in the tree. The poor bird would rather fly and continues his attempts, leading Pluto to help him learn.

Mickey sends Pluto to the butcher's to pick up a sausage, but hungry pit bull Butch attempts to steal it from him. After a rampant chase throughout the town, Pluto rushes home, the sausage intact. Mickey then tells Pluto that it's a birthday present for a friend... Butch!

A hyper little Figaro wishes to play, but Pluto would rather take a nap after being out all night. Constantly being awakened by Figaro, Pluto envisions a "Japanese Sandman" putting him to sleep, which is as far as the racial stereotypes go in this short.

While playing in a park, Pluto breaks into a bumblebee's hive of gumballs and chomps down on several at a time. Later on, the bee returns to find his hive destroyed, and gets into a bubble gum battle with Pluto, who ate one too many gumballs and can only breathe bubbles rather than bark.

Maybe he's taken up residence at Mickey's mountain home, as Pluto gets a package in the mail containing a young turtle. Perhaps an early version of Shelby (a giggly turtle who appears in several Donald shorts for "Mickey Mouse Works"), this turtle merely wants to swim in a pond, while Pluto attempts to deliver him to the house.

Minnie knits a horrendously pink sweater for Pluto, which reduces Figaro to fits of laughter and makes Pluto the laughingstock of the dog community. He gets the idea to shrink it down in the wash...and making it the perfect size for Figaro.

Visiting a Native American village, Mickey buys Pluto a buffalo bone, then promptly goes off shopping. As Pluto munches away, a smaller dog tries to munch with him, leading to a chase for the bone as Pluto doesn't want to share. Once Pluto recovers the bone, he ends up trapped within a fence of cactuses, prompting the small pup to help him escape.

Pluto serves as a sheep dog for quite a small amount of sheep. At the same time, a sneaky coyote is trying to teach his young song the art of kidnapping a sheep and bypassing the various traps. Pluto catches on, and disguises himself as a sheep, knowing a young coyote cub would jump at the chance of capturing such a large sheep.

The coyote and son of Sheep Dog return and this time they're after Pluto's food supply during a camping trip. Pluto stops them several times, but the mess left behind gets him in trouble, prompting him to run off with the coyote and son.

Chip 'N Dale have finished gathering their acorns in a tree, but Pluto tries to hide his bone in there, resulting in acorns spilling everywhere. The precocious chipmunks decide to have fun with Pluto and with the help of some gardening gloves, play ball with him while returning the nuts to the tree.

Coyote and Son return once again, this time trying to invade a henhouse in the west. Naturally, Pluto's there to stop them. At one point, he fails to realize their presence in his own doghouse, but eventually he tricks them into running away.

Taking a nap in Minnie's yard, Pluto gets interrupted by a gopher who enjoys eating flowers. He attempts to capture the gopher, but ends up ruining poor Minnie's flowers instead. The action moves inside as Pluto chases the gopher around the house.

Dinah the Dachshund, one of two girlfriends created for Pluto (Fifi the Peke was an earlier one), appears in her fourth of five Pluto shorts. In this romantic episode of the Pluto and Dinah chronicles, Pluto realizes Dinah's also being pursued by Butch, and the two male dogs vie for her affections.

Pluto is visited by his "Primitive Instinct", who is disappointed in his domesticity, from his dog toys to his flat teeth to his milk toast supper. He convinces him to try life out in the wild. Naturally, the results are bad as Pluto cannot howl like a wild dog, and can't even hold his own when facing a little rabbit.

Similar to many Pluto versus Cats shorts, two strays sneak into Pluto's backyard via a hole in the brick wall in an attempt to catch some fish and other small animals in the yard. Pluto stops them several times, and chases them out entirely before running into their much larger mother cat.

Dinah the Dachshund makes her fifth and final appearance as Pluto's girlfriend, this time ignoring him for a circus dog named Prince. Pluto attempts to restore her affections by setting up a circus of his own in a junk yard, fighting off Butch the pit bull and impressing Dinah with his various abilities as a show dog.

A crane takes over Pluto's doghouse in order to keep warm in the winter. Pluto doesn't realize this, until it gets rather fishy that every time he tries to enter his house, it gets up and walks away. Pluto then sees the crane's legs and beak, and attempts to drive him out.

A cat similar to the one seen in Puss-Cafe is now a house pet with Pluto, as they drool over a turkey seen on the television. The two search for it around the house, before finding it in the refrigerator. This cartoon gets a vault status due to its extreme violence, such as Pluto's accidental electrocution and his attempts at heating up the cat inside the television.

Mickey and Pluto visit Camp Utopia, the Sportsman's Utopia, but unfortunately, this utopia doesn't apply to dogs. A cat teases Pluto's restrictions, and as they sleep, Pluto has a bizarre (yet fascinating) dream sequence, where the cat is a servant to him in a place called Plutopia. What makes this short a vaulted one is the aspect in which Pluto gets rewarded with food whenever he tortures the cat.
