Plot summary
The owner of a Parisian perfume shop finds a skunk, Pepé Le Pew, helping himself to the fragrances on his shelves. The gendarme he summons for help takes one whiff and runs off as well. A stray cat rubs against his legs, so he throws her into the shop to get rid of the skunk. She skids over the floor into a table, knocking over a bottle of white hair dye, and the spill paints a stripe down her back and tail. Pepé believes she is a skunk and falls in love with her. She is plainly averse to his smell, but he keeps trying to woo her, and the pair race through the store.
