Plot
Pluto wakes up to the sound of two birds singing. He tries to sing along with them but is unsuccessful, causing them to fly away annoyed. Pluto also tries to imitate the sound of a bee and cricket, but he annoys them as well. Pluto then hears the sound of a radio beating at a nearby music store and discovers that he can emulate it by pounding his tail on the ground. However, the store proprietor takes it inside just as Pluto begins enjoying himself. Pluto attempts to sneak inside to play the radio some more. However, he accidentally discovers that his tail can function like a record player’s stylus. Pluto then decides to take the record player back to his doghouse and play it out of others’ sight so that it looks like the record player’s sounds are coming out of his mouth. His tactic impresses a group of female dogs, as well as the animals he previously annoyed.
Home media
