Synopsis
In this surreal romp, horses jump rope and do jumping jacks as they prepare for a big race at the local track, where Bosko is the hot dog vendor. His hot dogs are rather special, too, in that they dance and talk. The ever-cheerful Bosko enters and wins the race at the last minute with a very unconventional steed indeed (a mechanical horse), despite having the damnedest time getting his mount out of the starting gate.

Fun Bosko Short Where Hot Dog Vendor Does Good!!
The third Looney Tune from 1931 has Bosko working as a hot dog vendor at a racetrack. His "live" dogs start romantic relationships with their customers and Bosko decides to win a race with a robot horse. He wins by cheating but what do we care?! Bosko is our hero and any other outcome is unacceptable. A lotta fun, and exceptionally creative. One of the better Bosko's.
