Winnie & her friends go skinny dipping, but Muttsy swipes one of Winnie's slippers. The women think a man saw them & took the slipper. Muttsy brings it to Zeb and Perry, who recognize it as her sister's slipper. The women return home & discuss what they would do to the man who took the slipper. Perry overhears them & doesn't want to be beaten up so he hands it to Mr. Kluck who recently arrived to see Winnie. When Kluck returns the slipper, the women beat him. Kluck says Perry gave it to him & the women chase him. Cornered Perry says Muttsy found the slipper which makes the women happy to hear.
