Society Dog Show

Plot

Mickey Mouse takes Pluto to a fancy dog show, arriving in a homemade wooden car. While Mickey is sprucing Pluto up, Pluto becomes smitten with Fifi, a Pekingese. When it's time for Pluto to be judged, Mickey has to fetch him. Pluto bites the judge after the judge is rude to him, and the pair are thrown out.

Mickey then decides to sneak Pluto back in as a trick dog, but Pluto is nervous. A photographer's flash powder sets a curtain on fire, and the building goes up in flames. Fifi gets trapped under a fallen microphone stand. As Mickey is about to re-enter with Pluto on roller skates, the crowd and dogs rush out.

Pluto hears Fifi and bravely skates back inside. Mickey tries to follow but is blocked by falling debris. Pluto skates across a column, dodges a collapsing floor and a falling wall, and glides over wooden beams to reach Fifi just as her floor gives way. They crash through a window onto a drainpipe that bends like a spring and flings them into the street.

Mickey and the others gather around, and the judge awards Pluto a medal, hailing him a hero. Pluto then uses his ear to pull Fifi behind the medal, likely for a kiss. This short was the last time Mickey appeared with his older design featuring dotted eyes. A later comic strip by Floyd Gottfredson adapted the story quite differently.
