Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!
Synopsis: Pluto and Milton see an advertisement for turkey on the television and set out to find one for themselves.
Cartoon Cat: Milton the cat co-stars with Pluto and this is just one of a few shorts in which Milton appeared with the famous cartoon canine. This time Milton is living with Pluto in Mickey Mouse’s house, although Mickey does not appear. Milton spots a turkey on television and points it out to Pluto.
They drool over the turkey on the television screen but can’t figure out where it is.
The announcer states that there should be a Lurkey Turkey in every kitchen, so Pluto and Milton check their food bowls but find no turkey.
They search the kitchen and Milton sees an open cabinet above. Milton directs Pluto to launch him up to it by flipping open the lid of the garbage can lid but that doesn’t go as planned.
They finally find the turkey in the refrigerator and Milton becomes quite possessive.
Having stolen the turkey, Milton proceeds to cook it on a heating vent.
Pluto comes after Milton, who hides in the television set. Pluto turns the set on and heats things up.
In the end the turkey is burnt and then crumbles into ashes.
Final Mewsings: If cats had their way every day would be Thanksgiving!
