Synopsis

A dog insists on burying a bone in the Goofy Gophers' home, so the Gophers go to work on him. The two polite gophers are playing gin in their burrow when a bone comes crashing down on them, courtesy of a dog who just buried it. They try and appeal to the dog to bury his femur somewhere else, but the stubborn dog decides that he should bury it where he wants it. The war is on as the chipmunks give the dog plenty of grief before he decides to pack his bags and leave!

Production notes

After a prolonged absence, Ben Hardaway came back to the studio to write this one cartoon.

All Blue Ribbon cartoons were released as Merrie Melodie cartoons regardless of the original series. The first Looney Tunes short to be included in the Blue Ribbon series was The Hep Cat, which was added in 1949. The only current prints of many of these cartoons are the Blue Ribbon releases, although restoration of these cartoons with original elements and titles is always ongoing.
