Storyline
Minnie is about to pour her bacon grease over Pluto's dinner bowl as a treat, but a radio announcement reminds them that the glycerine which can be extracted from cooking fats is important to production of war munitions. Pluto decides that he would rather his treat be used to help Mickey and the other troops at the front, and he helps to collect grease to deliver to the local collection station - getting a better treat as compensation after all.

During WWII, Walt Disney began to concentrate mostly on the war. He would produce several cartoons promoting people to buy war bonds. This one promoted people to conserve bacon grease and other fats in the home so that it could be made into nitro glycerin and we've got Minnie Mouse and Pluto demonstrating for us. There really wasn't much comedy to this short, but I liked the part where Pluto goes down to the meat market to deliver the bacon grease and instead of being paid in cash, he wants wieners.
