Synopsis
The Queegles are rehearsing a presentation about Earthhounds. Things do not run smoothly: Tardy Queegle falls asleep dressed as a dog, Xamster escapes from his cage, and suddenly, the stage is plunged into darkness. A quick transition to the field trip is called for, but somebody has put sugar in the spaceship engine so that it won't start, and Famished Queegle is making the dog's dinner in Dr. Xargle's mortarboard. They finally land at a dog show, where Nigel Spume tries out his alien detector and Matron wins a rosette. The dogs and Nigel Spume decide to give chase, and the Queegles hastily board the spaceship along with Stinkwbippy and Houndhops!
