"Andy Panda" buys the last fish from the pet store and is taking it home - bowl on his head - when they are both espied by a fairly ravenous alley cat. Lunch thinks he, and various antics ensue as the cat tries to bamboozle the rather dim-witted panda before resorting to brute force to secure his dinner. The animation is all pretty standard fayre depicting cat trying to catch then cook the high speed, gravity-defying, fish whilst the fish (and the panda) try to outwit the cat using the street furniture and a big dog. It's watchable enough, but I doubt you'll ever remember it.
