The Pink Panther mistakenly thinks that he weighs over 200 pounds, so, he shies away from all his favorite food by locking his meals in a cabinet and repeatedly denying hot dogs from a vendor.

You feel sorry for the poor guy, as you feel his cravings going up the roof and his willpower going out the door. You really want a taste of the food and hope the Pink Panther realizes what his real weight is before he starves.

A pretty entertaining cartoon short here and you get to see him have a little run in at a diet diner and with a police officer. But, at the end, alls well ends well for the panther.
