In the cartoon, which was largely a remake of the 1933 short Mickey's Pal Pluto, Pluto saves the life of a kitten, and later feels jealous towards the kitten after Mickey Mouse takes the kitten in. The film won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 14th Academy Awards in 1942, the only Mickey Mouse short to win the award.


Plot


While out in the snow, Pluto hears meowing noises coming from a bag floating on a drifting ice floe. He saves it, only to lose interest when he finds an orange kitten inside. The kitten follows him home and Mickey immediately adopts it. Pluto becomes jealous of all the attention the kitten gets and is coerced by his shoulder devil to get it in trouble. Despite his shoulder angel's attempts to talk him out of it, the devil gets rid of the angel by jabbing him with his trident. Pluto tries to trick the kitten into attacking Mickey's goldfish Bianca, only for it to drag the fishbowl towards the edge of the table. The devil warns Pluto to run, but he fails to get away in time as the fishbowl, the kitten, and a lamp fall on him. This gets Mickey's attention and after some pondering, he demands answers from Bianca. She points to Pluto, knowing that he's the one trying to get the kitten into trouble in the first place, to the latter's horror. Mickey angrily kicks a guilty Pluto out of the house for the remainder of the day as punishment for the mess he made, and Pluto angrily blames his shoulder devil for getting him into trouble.

Eventually, the kitten ends up being outside as well while chasing a ball, accidentally falling into a well. The angel tells Pluto to save it, but the devil furiously tells him to let it drown as revenge for getting him kicked out. Finally having enough of the devil's uncaring attitude, the angel chases off the devil by punching him into oblivion and convinces Pluto to do the right thing, only for him to fall in too. Hearing Pluto's cries, Mickey saves them both and comforts a near frozen Pluto after ramming him into the top of the well to break the ice that he's frozen in, feeling very remorseful for kicking him out. After receiving a nice hot bath from Mickey and a thank you kiss from the kitten, Pluto is told by the angel "Kindness to animals, my friend, will be rewarded in the end".
