Synopsis

Claude takes on a frisky puppy named... (wait for it...) Frisky! No longer the dupe of Hubie and Bertie, Claude has feline cunning and deviousness on his side. The puppy-pup has only canine naiveté and spontaneous barking systems which send the nervous Claude flying. After playing with a ball and a flea (a triumph of semi-naturalistic animation), Frisky needs a bath. One of his spasms has the gloating Claude flying into the tub. Another puts him against the ceiling with a wet bucket around him.

Poor Claude can’t win when Frisky’s around but the joy is all his when it’s time for Frisky to have a bath. Or is it? Claude tries to get revenge but his fate hangs on a little red string.

I loooove the Claude/Frisky series. It's too bad Chuck didn't make more cartoons with those two.
