Plot

Bosko, depicted as the owner/runner of a soda/ice cream shop, serves sodas to a mouse and his old teacher (a hippo). After his teacher's soda is sprayed in her face by a fan, causing her to leave the shop in anger, a dog enters the building and eats a pile of ice cream, causing the dog's body to become square-shaped. This leads Bosko, shortly after discovering what the dog did, to play it like an accordion. Meanwhile, Honey's bratty and spoiled cat Wilbur demands an ice-cream cone after rehearsing singing and the piano against his will. Bosko sends the dog away, and then delivers an ice cream to Wilbur; however he dislikes the flavor Bosko delivered him, and rudely retaliates, which ends in Bosko sitting, surprised, in the washing basket with a pair of underwear on his head.
