Penelope, a very organized woman, is shocked to find her cookie jar empty. She immediately suspects her lazy basset hound, Chester. After a little tickle reveals a trail of crumbs, she asks him how he did it. Chester, a surprisingly clever and nimble dog, demonstrates his technique using a chair and his own tail to get onto the counter. Penelope finds the whole thing hilarious and decides to get more cookies, making sure to leave some for her furry, acrobatic friend.
