Plot



Butch is a black male alley cat who is instantly smitten with Toodles, a white, elegant female cat he sees on the balcony of her wealthy family's penthouse apartment on Park Avenue. He serenades her, but the butler sends the family's bulldog named Rover after him.

A long, fast-paced chase ensues, with Rover outwitted by Butch every time, and the chase ends with the butler accidentally hitting Rover with a broom when the dog chases Butch, causing Rover to turn against the butler out of anger. With Rover and the butler out of the way, Butch makes it into the apartment to dance with his new love.[http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/warnertoons.html "Animated Film: Warner Brothers and MGM Animated Shorts"].
