Synopsis

Old Mother Hubbard's mischievous dog spends all day reading, so she encourages him to learn how to play. Taking her words literally, he embarks on a musical journey, attempting to master the flute, cello, trombone, violin, and even the bagpipes. The result is a cacophony of dreadful sounds that drive Old Mother Hubbard to her wit's end. How will she restore peace and quiet in her home?
