Synopsis[]

A drunk man stumbles out of a bar and helps the Pink Panther get a tack out of his foot. Indebted, the Pink Panther follows the drunk home. The gentleman’s domineering wife leaves him first, then the maid. The maid returns with a big bulldog who hates panthers. The Pink Panther hides behind the drunk. The tables are turned on the wife when the Pink Panther moves in.

Plot[]

A little, pointy-nosed playboy coming out of a nightclub does a good deed for the Pink Panther by pulling a nail out of the panther's foot, and the grateful panther becomes slave to the little man, assisting him to compel his shrewish wife to do all the chores at home, cleaning behind him as he drops his cigar ashes and beer cans on the floor. Each time the wife tries to retaliate against her inconsiderate husband, the playboy slob whistles for the Pink Panther to roar at her and frighten her into submission. Tables turn when the wife pulls a nail out of the Pink Panther's foot and the panther is now her slave and allows her to smash bottles on her playboy husband's head.

Trivia[]

The episode’s name is a pun to “Piccadilly Circus”
A half turn retelling of the fable of Androcles and the Lion.
The Panther communicates by sound, but not by speech, in this short.
The Panther is using a very modern kitchen mixer to make a popular dessert, an instant (as opposed to old fashioned cooked on the stove) pudding pie, topped with aerosol whipped cream.
For the Spanish dub of this cartoon, the Pink Panther yelping in pain, growling ferociously and the barking dog were over dubbed by a voice-over.
