Some may find these shorts hilarious, but after the first few minutes it's clear that the dogs are being manipulated to assume the poses of animals talking to each other like humans, walking around on their hind legs and wearing costumes appropriate for the "characters" they're supposed to be playing. It's funny and amusing but hardly what I would call hilarious. The word "stilted" is more like it--because it's all so obviously staged that the dogs seem more like puppets being led about by invisible strings.
Having said that, if FRANCIS, THE TALKING MULE is your style of entertainment, you may fall over laughing at this nonsense.
The dogs say grace at the table, fix a flat tire, go wild at a department store remnant sale, model clothes, cope with a crooked boss, and our hero and his girlfriend are separated when the boss pins a crime on the boy dog so that he can win the affection of the girl.
After spending some time at the penitentiary, where some dogs are seen doing hard labor in jail clothes, the girl dog comes to the rescue and gets her boyfriend saved in time to avoid going to the chair for his crime.
Says one dog to another when sampling jail food: "It ain't fit for a dog!" Hilarius? It depends.
