Bobby Bumps and Fido hop out of the bottle of ink, ready to go to work, but Earl Hurd isn't there. When they phone him, he says they're to work at his home and hurry over.
Quite clearly, this mixed live-action/animated short is meant to emulate the success of Max and Dave Fleischers' Koko the Clown cartoons. This wouldn't be the last time someone borrowed that dichotomous structure. Walter Lantz did a series of 'Dinky Doodles' cartoons in the mid-1920s for Hurd's old employer, John Randolph Bray.
Because this was a short entry in the Paramount Weekly short subject, organized with two or three other split-reel movies, it is not particularly elaborate and only momentarily amusing.
