About Alice's Mysterious Mystery
A mouse and his boss dress as dogcatchers, clear a schoolhouse of dogs, and use further tricks to stock a sausage factory. Alice and Julius pick up the trail after the first grab and are slow to catch the pair. Julius gets the boss beaten by the sausage man, then turns the dogs loose on him.
