Jealous of the other dogs who have fur coats, a hairless Mexican pooch decides to borrow a fur coat and enter the dog show. Unfortunately, she borrows a skunk pelt by accident, which soon frightens the other dogs and attracts the unwanted attention of the amorous Pepé Le Pew. Pepe continues chasing her until she finally reveals that she is a dog, much to his surprise. Pepe then takes off his fur like a zippered jacket to reveal that he is a dog, capturing the misled pooch's swoon, only to reveal once more that it was just him in a dog costume. He says to the audience, "I am stupid, no?", as the cartoon ends, implying that Pepé is indeed a skunk who doesn't care that his love interest is a dog.
In this cartoon Pepe's name is changed from Henry to Stinky.
This is the first cartoon where Pepe had a genuine French accent as opposed to the faked French accent he previously had in his debut appearance Odor-able Kitty.
This is the only cartoon where Pepe chases a female dog instead of a female cat.
The dog, while unnamed in the cartoon, is referred to as "Fifi" on her model sheet.[1]
Unlike most restored Looney Tunes cartoons, this cartoon does not have black borders on the opening and ending titles.
The United Kingdom airs this cartoon on Boomerang as a "Proto-turner dubbed version", meaning that it has the same color correction as well as non-pan-and-scan, as both dubbed versions, but keeps the reissue end card and audio end cue. Other European countries air the "official" EU Turner dubbed version which has the same altered ending music cue (and virtually identical 1947-1948 dubbed ending card) as the USA Turner dubbed version which has the same altered ending music cue.[2]
Goofs[]
Although original 1946-1955 Looney Tunes ending music cue is preserved on the Blue Ribbon reissue, both USA and EU Turner dubbed transfers replace the original ending music cue with the 1941-55 Merrie Melodies ending music cue.
