"Too busy reading his grocery list, poor old "Sam" and his dog "Rover" get hit by a car whilst crossing the road. I'm not sure plasma was on their list but some quick action by the medics appears to have muddled it up and so now the dog has human traits and "Sam" goes around on all fours burying bones in the garden and yapping like a maniac. "Maggie" can't make sense of this changed dynamic, especially when "Rover" refuses to eat his tinned dinner from a bowl.

The theme song is Kingdom Come, or Year of Jubilo, a minstrel show tune written in 1862 by Henry Clay Work. The original song sympathetically recounts an heroic American slave revolt against the Southern plantation system, with plenty of humorous slapstick for comic relief. The tune is very catchy and rollicking, so it is not surprising that many humorous American movies including this cartoon series as well the Christmas movie Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) employ it in their soundtracks. However, you will never hear the original song lyrics sung anymore except as part of an educational lesson or an historically accurate context in a movie. This is because, while the song expresses a commendably benevolent and progressive viewpoint, the writing style sounds quite offensive to modern ears. To wit, the very first line of the song reads "Say darkey, have you seen de massa, wif de moustache on his face?" and it only goes downhill from there.
