Pluto's Judgement Day

Plot

Pluto chases a kitten through a window and right into Mickey's lap, causing a mess in Mickey's house. Mickey sternly scolds Pluto for his mean and nasty attitude towards cats, adding that he will have "plenty to answer for on (his) judgement day" if he keeps this up. Mickey then goes off to wash the kitten while Pluto falls asleep in front of the fireplace.

While asleep, a phantom cat goads Pluto into chasing him, over Mickey's objections, and Pluto is lured into a trap where shackles magically chained him and put on trial as the cats declare him "Public Enemy No. 1" for all his crimes against cats. All the cats, whom Pluto has ever tormented, testify against him: A tubby kitten speaks of being picked on and chased by Pluto because he (the cat) was fat and was flattened by a steamroller while running away from Pluto, a psychiatric patient is wheeled out to demonstrate the post-traumatic stress disorder which he developed from Pluto's barking, and three young blackface kittens sing of how Pluto stole their meals and drowned their Uncle Tom (as Tom's nine ghosts briefly appear) in a river. Pluto is inevitably found guilty and is about to be burned alive by being repelled in a seat into flames by the angry cats, when he wakes up after a hot cinder from the fireplace strikes his rear. Pluto rushes off into the tub to ease the burn, and Mickey, washing the kitten, urges the two to make up, which each one readily does much to Mickey's delight.
