Overview

Mickey and Pluto go hunting for quail. Pluto scares away the first ones they see; Mickey scolds him, then relents. He shows Pluto how to be a pointer, and they set off after another quail, but Mickey accidentally jumps on a bear's nose, and thinks it's Pluto. Meanwhile, Pluto finds the quail and points. The babies climb on board and start picking at his hairs, but Pluto's been told not to move. Mickey finally comes across Pluto, who by now is covered by small animals, and realizes he's being followed by a bear. Mickey tries to reason with the bear, and backs off a cliff, onto Pluto.

“Mickey” has decided that he is fed up with beans, so takes “Pluto” on a quail hunt. Luckily for the birds, neither he with his shotgun nor his hopeless hunting dog could catch one if it had concrete wings, but as they go deeper into the woods an altogether more menacing threat begins to stalk the mouse and his companion. As they stealthy moved along I kept expecting some Prokofiev to join in and add a little extra jolly peril to these proceedings and although I never really got the attraction of this character, nor of Pluto either, this is still quite an amiable ten minutes that features some nicely drawn nature and mischief at play.
