Paw comes home late after a night out and is determined to sneak inside without waking Maw. When he cannot manage it alone, he asks Milford the pig for advice. Milford offers several tips on quiet entry, but every attempt ends in noisy failure. Finally, Milford suggests trying the back door, which turns out to be unlocked. Paw slips inside quietly, only to realize Maw is not home yet. Just then, Maw returns, and Paw storms out the front door to scold her for coming home so late. Maw enters through the back door to avoid waking Paw, sees him at the front door, assumes he is just arriving, and scolds him anyway.
