Directed by: Hawley Pratt

Synopsis: The Pink Panther decides to fly a kite and things go predictable awry from the get go.

Cartoon Cat: As the Pink Panther is running to try to get the kite into the air, it collides with a man wearing a sweater. The man tears the kite apart but the string catches on his sweater and unravels it so Pinky is now running and trailing a length of yarn. This is spotted by an excited black cat who takes chase.

The cat finally catches the end of the yarn and holds on as he is pulled into the pointy nosed man who is trimming some plants.

Having dug its claws into the man’s back, the cat hangs on as the man shoots into the air, taking out part of a tree.

The man and the cat both fall into the broken tree branches before emerging, the cat clinging to the man’s head.
