The full-length, animated feature film of New Zealand's most popular cartoon strip based on characters created by Murray Ball. This is 'The Dog's Tale', his first encounter with the sexy bitch Jess; his loyal devotion to Wal Footrot, (whom he saves from a fate worse than death); his adventures with Horse, (the cat with barracuda jaws and fishhook claws); his brilliant cowardice and his mighty nose, pitted against the dastardly schemes of the villainous Murphys, their hell hounds, and the Croco Pigs.
