| Characters | Ozzie Turner; Pop Turner; Dip; Slick; Maestro Pagalini |
| Synopsis | Ozzie's father insists that he learns to play the flute like him (he played for Maestro Pagalini), his grandfather and great-grandfather. Dip's dog knocks Ozzie over when he is running because of a dog whistle that Slick is blowing and the flute falls out of his pocket. Slick makes fun of Ozzie so he claims that he is carrying it for a friend. He refuses to play it and be teased so after trying to lose it a couple of times he finally breaks it in half so he won't have to play it. Right after he breaks it Maestro Pagalini calls and wants Pop to play it that night so Ozzie turns to Slick for help and he lends him one. Ozzie takes it to his dad and when he starts to play it turns out that Slick's dog whistle is in it and dogs run in and ruin the concert. Pop is choking Ozzie when a critic comes up and says the dogs were a nice touch because they were playing "the overture of a dog's life". Maestro Pagalini asks Pop to play the flute whenever he is in town. As a reward Ozzie no longer has to learn the flute so he thanks Slick who is completely confused. |
