Premise

The Two Curious Puppies, whilst arguing for a bone, chase each other into the city zoo, where they have confrontations with various animals, including a loud hyena who often laughs at them.

Trivia

• This is the only Curious Puppies cartoon not to be reissued and the final appearance of the curious puppies.
• The American Turner "dubbed version" replaces the original 1941-1955 MM ending music cue with a 1939-1941 MM ending music cue, although the European Turner "dubbed version" retains the original 1941-1955 MM ending music cue.
