Stick Dog and his fellow-stray friends are hot dogs--it's a sweltering day. They set out in search of cooling relief, encountering a strange "water attacking machine" (sprinkler), then puzzle over an ice cream truck and its mysterious neither-solid-nor-liquid treat; an appropriately goofy heist ensues. Simple, comic black-and-white illustrations add to the trademark silliness Stick Dog's fans came for.
