A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, takingher faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.

Oneday the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddlesdiscovers that she's lost. Wandering about, she notices a leopardheading rapidly in her direction with the intention of having lunch.

Theold poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep shit now!" Noticing some boneson the ground close by, she immediately settles down to chew on thebones with her back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard isabout to leap, the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was onedelicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"

Hearingthis, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look ofterror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!", saysthe leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"

Meanwhile,a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree,figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it forprotection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle seeshim heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures thatsomething must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard,spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.

Theyoung leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here,monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that connivingcanine!"

Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with themonkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", butinstead of running, the dog sits down with her back to her attackers,pretending she hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get closeenough to hear, the old poodle says: "Where's that damn monkey? I senthim off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"
