Plot
Donald Duck constructs an automated dog washer. When Donald attempts to use Pluto as his test subject the two proceed to engage in a battle of wits. When Donald uses a cat hand puppet as a dog bait, some soap is splashed on Pluto, making him look like a poodle. At this, Donald takes the opportunity and proceeds took get Pluto into the dog washer. But by then, the soap went into Pluto's nose making him sneeze. It resulted in Donald flying into the dog washer and Pluto hitting the electric pole having the controls for the dog washer, thus turning it on. The machine turned on, and two robotic arms wearing boxing gloves grab Donald by the collar from the back and two arms having brushes on them, scrub his face. Then it dumps his head and upper body in the water allowing his rear end and feet to get them a good scrub. Then a shower sprays Donald with water, rinsing the soap out. Then the arms grab Donald and place him on the drying table which drys his abdomen. Then the arms flip him over and grab his legs. Then an arm having a bottle of "Flea Powder" sprinkles it on his rear and hangs his rear with a pin on the washing line.
