Synopsis

Two runaway hobo pups traveling on a train (or under it, as most tramps did) sing a snappy train song about them being two "rolling stones" traveling randomly anywhere. They see a sign for an international dog show where a variety of dogs perform. The hobo pups jump off the train to enter Farmer Al Falfa's International Dog Judging Contest. A French poodle sings a song, a Scotty plays the bagpipes, an English bulldog touts his virtues in rhythm. A variety of female dogs dressed like showgirls strut their stuff. After being thrown out separately, the hobo dogs try again, tying themselves together (disguised with a long rug) going in as one long, slender dachschund. They get in. Much dog fun follows, including a beauty contest. The two pups in one win first prize (a cup full of money) and run off with it (presumably to purchase a private train car to travel in!).
