Oswald is a hair stylist and runs a barber shop. His first customer is a shaggy terrier, and Oswald goes to give it a haircut. Every time Oswald shaves some hair from the terrier's back, the hairs keep growing. In time, Oswald finds out that the little dog is drinking a bottle of hair-growing liquid while he shaves. He then takes away the bottle and continues working. Though all he intended to is to give the terrier a little trimming, Oswald makes the dog almost completely hairless. His second customer is a hippo who comes to have some chin shaving which Oswald provides easily. The next patron is an elephant who seems to need a trunk makeover. Oswald irons the elephant's trunk and curls it with some tongs. The elephant blows its trunk like a party horn and appears to be satisfied by it. Oswald then comes to a bear name Pete who arrives to have a manicure. To make himself more charming, Oswald puts on a skirt and some lipstick. He then smoothens the Pete's sharp claws with an automatic nail-filing wheel.

The plan works and Oswald is in the vehicle sitting beside his client. They set off in the car, leaving the barber shop and exiting the city.
