Pluto gets outfoxed by a raccoon with better puppet skills than most actors.
Mickey's hunting raccoons, with help from Pluto. But the raccoon outsmarts Pluto at every turn, with help from a vine, a stream, and ultimately grabbing Mickey's coonskin cap and puppeteering it as a baby coon.
Sound
Pinto Colvig's Pluto whimpers are pure comedic timing.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This short came during Disney's 'package film' era when the studio was financially struggling—hence the lean, mean 7-minute runtime.
The coonskin cap gag slyly mocks the Davy Crockett craze that wouldn't explode until 1955, making this weirdly prescient satire.
