Plot
The Stooges are skilled veterinarians at a pet hospital who are the proud surgeons of Garçon, a prized poodle of socialite Mrs. Bedford. When two dognappers, posing as reporters, dognap the poodle, the boys frantically try to trick Mrs. Bedford by disguising a mutt as the Garçon. However, when Mrs. Bedford's maid, who is frightened of dogs, accidentally vacuums a clump of glued-on fur off the mutt's shaggy coat, Mrs. Bedford threatens to throw the Stooges in jail. Desperate, the trio use the mutt as a bloodhound to track down the crooks. When they discover the enemies' hideout, Curly defeats them in a fight. The boys hear Garçon quietly barking from inside a closet, only to discover that the prized poodle has had a litter of pups.

Quotes

 * Moe: [to the Garçon in disguise] Listen, bloodhound! If you got any blood in you, you'd better start pointing and point out those dognappers! Get the point?!
 * Curly: Hmmm, n'yuk, n'yuk n'yuk. He must be a Pointsetter. [referring to the poinsettia flower]
 * Moe: Quiet, you hot air-dale! [referring to an Airedale Terrier and making a pun on the phrase "hot air" as in "empty talk intended to impress"]
