Synopsis

As a group of canines awaits execution at the city pound, a mass murderer, the Honky Killer, stalks the streets of New York. Over the objections of a pedigreed bitch, an Italian terrier plans their keeper's death. A gentle airedale, however, assures his fellows that the governor's pardon is imminent. After unsuccessfully propositioning the pound's female populace, an Irish setter masturbates before the enthusiastic male inmates. While a mutt bemoans her impending destruction, a Mexican hairless proclaims his sky-diving prowess and loudly laments his baldness, and a Baltimore pointer fantasizes literary fame. As a Siamese cat philosophizes, an expiring penguin is eulogized by a water spaniel. The afternoon ends and gas seeps into the cell, killing the prisoners one by one.
