This is a pretty good cartoon, but it's not exactly one of Tex Avery's best for MGM. The story begins with a cute little kitten being bullied repeatedly by a sadistic dog. Each time he does something mean to the kitten (such as offering him a saucer of milk with a mouse trap hidden inside), the dog laughs intensely (perhaps TOO intensely--it's a little annoying). Again and again, the kitten is tortured until a black cat comes to his aid. The black cat announced that he is a "bad luck" charm and any time he wants something bad to happen to the dog he should call. And, of course, the dog continues being abusive and the kitten calls again and again for the aid of the black cat. Each time, impossible but funny awful things happen to the dog. The sight gags are cool and the cartoon is entertaining.
