Mrs. Drysdale has a problem with Pearl's yodeling lessons she is giving when it causes Duke, the family dog, to run into their yard and begin howling. After a call to the dog catcher and the police, Duke is taken away, but the lessons continue when the policeman enjoys the sound of Pearl's voice. When Elly Mae returns home with Duke and a few more dogs, the noise level really skyrockets when the yodeling/howling begins again.
