Summary:
While romping through
the forest, Bosko falls asleep and dreams of giants and gnomes.
Description:
Bosko and Bruno are
strolling through the forest; Bosko playing the harmonica while Bruno
runs around him. "Look Bruno!" shouts Bosko, pointing to something
in the distance. As Bruno turns to investigate, Bosko jumps into a nearby
mound of leaves. The worried dog looks around for his master, but soon
spots him when a strong gust of wind blows away the leaves and reveals
Bosko crouching underneath. Bruno sneaks up from behind and runs a vine
under Bosko's crotch (which Bosko seems to enjoy a little too much). "Let's
play hide and seek, Bruno!" says Bosko, and Bruno barks in agreement.
Bosko goes over to a tree and starts counting, while Bruno searches for
a hiding spot. Bruno tries to hide in the hole of a tree, but he quickly
emerges with a woodpecker pecking at his head. Bruno then dives into pond
and surfaces with a pot on his head, which the woodpecker can't peck through.
Bosko suddenly appears by the pond and shouts "I found you!",
so now it's Bruno's turn to count. As he barks his count he suddenly gains
the power of speech long enough to ask the audience "Are you listening?".
Bosko tries to hide behind a tree, but he's surprised when the leaves
turn out to be tiny birds which fly away. Bosko finds another tree to
hide behind just as Bruno finishes counting. Bruno goes off to search
for Bosko but is distracted by a turtle. As Bruno follows the turtle the
impatient Bosko falls asleep by the tree. The turtle manages to get rid
of Bruno by hiding in his shell momentarily and popping out to bite Bruno
in the nose. Meanwhile, magical gnomes emerge from behind the tree where
Bosko is sleeping. They happen to be carrying a bubble solution and a
bubble pipe, and they proceed to blow a bubble big enough to capture Bosko.
As he floats into the air, a trio of fairies emerge from flowers and start
singing. Bosko continues to float higher as the gnomes fly around him,
but he soon wakes up. After only a few moments of marveling at his situation,
Bosko suddenly sneezes, bursting his bubble and sending him plummeting
towards the ground. The gnomes try to catch him with a spider web, but
it breaks and allows Bosko to continue falling, this time through a deep
pit. "Is there a doctor in the audience?!" shouts Bosko as he
falls, but he soon lands on the keys of a giant piano. More gnomes appear
and begin cheering, prompting Bosko to start playing the piano with his
feet (and hands). But wherever there's a giant piano, there must be --
a giant ogre! One suddenly appears and begins to chase Bosko through the
underground cavern. Bosko unwisely jumps onto a table with a jar of mustard,
some bread, and a knife on it. With Bosko now stuck in the mustard, the
giant slices the bread and places Bosko in it hot dog-style. The giant
starts basting Bosko with the mustard, but soon Bosko wakes to find that
it was only Bruno licking his face.
Notes:
- Obscure gag: "Are
you listening?" (spoken by Bruno during his hide-and-seek count)
was a phrase used by popular radio personality Ben Bernie. A biography
of Bernie can be found at The
Jazz Age site. [JB]
