| Description: |
The tale of twin puppies, separated at birth and brought up on opposite sides of the tracks - one in the Emperor's palace, the other an alley stray. Until one day, the two puppies get mixed up - with hilarious results... |
| Synopsis: |
It's the Emperor's birthday ...But he's not happy. Presents spill over the steps of the palace, but he doesn't like any of them. Then Fred, the gardener, finds a missing label and attaches it to a stray puppy - 'The Last of the Gruckle Hounds'. The Emperor is overjoyed (never mind that he doesn't know what a 'gruckle' is!). The Last of the Gruckle Hounds lives a life of luxury, sleeping on silk cushions, feasting on salmon - while his twin brother, Scruff, searches for slops in the city's bins. Will the puppies ever meet again? And, if they do, will Fred's trick be discovered? |
