Hairy Maclary finds a variety of cats to chase, until Scarface Claw bothers and bustles him, rustles and hustles him, races and chases him all the way home.

Hairy Maclary leads all the other dogs in the neighborhood to investigate the terrible caterwauling created when the tough cat Scarface Claw is caught up in a tree.
