This Walt Disney cartoon short stars Pluto playing ball at the park. He later mistook a gum ball machine as the ball, and tries to get to the gum. When a bumble bee successfully snatches a gum-ball and takes it to its hive, Pluto follows it and knocks the hive down, along with its gum-ball stash. Pluto then scoops up all the gum-balls in his mouth and starts chewing and blowing bubbles, while trying to escape the upset bee at the same time.

With all the sweet gum-balls, this cartoon makes you want to chew some gum-balls yourself. Every time I pass a gum-ball machine, I am reminded of this cartoon short. It's not one of the more exciting cartoons as it is just Pluto chewing gum and avoiding a bee. It's one of those cartoons that was part of an episode of the Wonderful World of Color. It's cute, but there are better ones out there with Pluto.

Pluto is playing with a ball in the park when he mistakes a bubble gum machine for it. He tries briefly to get a gumball from the machine when a bee flies into the machine and carries a gumball off to his hive. Pluto goes after the hive and knocks it down; it's full of gumballs, which he eagerly scoops up and begins chewing. The bee returns and is understandably upset; he tracks down Pluto, but Pluto manages to defend himself with gum bubbles for quite a while. The bee manages to wrap the gum from one bubble around Pluto's legs, hobbling him. Finally, the bee flies into Pluto's mouth; Pluto blows a giant bubble around the bee.
