[3] Wellington the dog is given a package to deliver to Uncle Louie, with strict instructions not to let go of it.
They try multiple ways to get him to drop the package (one of which is disguising a cigarette from pepper and using it to make him sneeze), but Wellington always outsmarts them.
Wellington still manages to retrieve the package a few times, but never for as long as he hopes for.
At the end of the cartoon, Wellington finally arrives at Uncle Louie's, but is upset when he finds out that the package contains dinner for the two cats.
Realizing that he had been a "jackass" through the whole thing, Wellington slams his head against the mailbox and crowns himself with garbage can lids.
