Plot[]
One day, Mickey and Minnie are taking a walk in Central Park, New York, which Minnie declares lovely. Suddenly, her tummy rumbles loudly, so Mickey buys a hot dog with extra mustard and gives it to her, but as Minnie tries to bite into it, it escapes. Mickey tries to catch it, but it hides behind the bush. He finds it, but it lands in a baby carriage. Mickey steps on a fork and trips, then the carriage rolls away. He tries to find it by throwing a blanket out of a carriage, but ends up finding a baby, who begins crying. Mickey throws blankets out of more carriages, causing more babies to cry, until Mickey throws a blanket out of a blue carriage and sees the hot dog disguised as a baby, which kisses him then leaves while Mickey gets attacked by the babies' angry mothers.
Next Mickey spots the hot dog in a rowboat. He rows a small boat to reach the big one. He tries to get it but gets distracted by Goofy in drag. Mickey falls into the water as the hot dog rolls away again. An old lady reports a purse-snatcher to a police officer, describing the thief as "pink and delicious." Mickey hears this, follows the directions the lady said, and finds the hot dog using the purse to play poker with three hobos, then chases it to Central Park Zoo. The hot dog stops hopping when it sees him and enters a lion's mouth. Mickey confronts the lion and goes inside its body.
Out in the streets, Minnie wonders where Mickey is, then he comes up to her riding the lion and holding the hot dog, now dirty, smelly, and with a few bite marks. The officer, with the old lady beside him, comes to arrest the dirty hot dog, and Mickey is hailed as a hero, with the hot dog vendor offering free hot dogs. Mickey and Minnie eat one and kiss, then go home.

Trivia[]
- When the bouncing sausage went gambling with the hobos, one of them is a pig. Ironically, hot dogs would be cannibalism and manslaughter for anthropomorphic pigs.
- The Central Park Zoo does not have a lion exhibit in real life, which only happened in animation such as Madagascar by DreamWorks and The Wild by Disney.
- The animation of Mickey tripping and falling flat on his face was used earlier in the opening cutscene of "Fanning the Flames" from Where's My Mickey?
