This 1932 Pooch the Pup entry is based on a very simple idea; Pooch gets a call from his girl -- who doesn't seem to have a name -- ordering one chicken, please. So Pooch goes to the back of his butcher shop and selects one, and understandably the chicken in question is less than cooperative in going along with the idea, but ends up in the basket. At Pooch's girl's house both Pooch and chicken face off with the pet cat, who is particularly conniving; the cat winds up running off with the chicken.
