Synopsis
Scamp, Speedy, and Trusty play hide and seek in an old, abandoned house that Trusty believes to be haunted.

Indexer Notes

GOOD BIT: As Trusty begins telling another of his long-winded tall tales, Scamp and Speedy comment on how many times they've heard this one before:

SCAMP: "You told us the same story three times last Fourth of July, and twice last Christmas, and seven times last Halloween!"
SPEEDY: "Altogether about one hundred and forty-five times!"

Genre

Characters
Scamp; Lady; Tramp; Scamp's siblings (Ruffy); Dachsie; Speedy (Dachsie's puppy nephew); flock of geese; park caretaker; first dogcatcher; second dogcatcher; peacock
Synopsis
Tramp gives Scamp "the facts" on good dog-behavior and staying out of trouble. Ditto for Dachsie and his puppy nephew Speedy. Tramp and Dachsie nap in the park, confident that the pups will adhere to "the facts". The pups do just that, but the list of "facts" was far from complete allowing Scamp and Speedy to innocently wreak havoc in the park, while believing they are behaving properly. Tramp and Dachsie find themselves in the dog pound, taking the blame for the pups' unintended mischief.
