Plot
[edit]Porky visits a hospital with a stomach ache from overeating at his birthday party. Instead of a real doctor, he encounters a cat posing as "Dr. Chilled-Air." The cat attempts surgery on Porky, who panics and escapes. Back home, Porky tricks the cat into thinking it is Christmas, only to find himself stuck with the cat waiting to resume the operation.
