After watching over 30 Pink Panther cartoons in which no one spoke, this is the second in a row with dialog although the Pink Panther doesn't say anything. (Apparently there was dialog in these 1965 editions, and two of them in the overall series had the Panther speaking.)
Here, our hero is sitting on a park bench at night, minding is own business and literally smelling flowers, when a little drunk man comes by and takes a liking to him. He insists he go home with him, but needs to keep quiet because he doesn't want his nagging wife to see him because "she wouldn't understand." Later, we find out this guy has a habit of "bringing home bums," according to his unhappy wife.
Some of the better gags involved the Panther trying to crack open a hard-as-nails egg; the wife's voice, which sounded like Mel Blanc doing a Looney Tunes character, the PP turning into the Blue Panther and the Panther turning into a "caterpiller." That last joke was the best scene in the animated short.
Overall, nothing super but it had it's moments, thanks to the wife, who was funny. I never find sloppy drunks humorous, and the ending was a bit lame.
