Pepé Le Pew invades a Parisian perfumery, where he sniffs the various scents. The shopkeeper runs in horror and recruits a female cat to run the skunk out of the shop. She tosses the cat inside, and a bottle of dye falls over, accidentally painting a white stripe down the cat's back. Pepé gives chase...

You have to pity the poor suitor who turns up to meet his beloved only to get quite a shock! He returns with a gendarme only to find "Pepé" merrily mixing his own special sort of scent in the perfumery! Talk about eye watering? Perhaps an attentive stray cat can help? Unless - of course - it manages to get itself covered in white hair dye and start to think it's a skunk too! Might (unrequited) love be in the air? It has a fun spell near the end with quite an entertaining mirror-effect scene, but otherwise this was never my favourite bouncing cartoon character and the story isn't really anything other than an excuse to coat the critter in different colours. It's all perfectly watchable, but nothing special.
