The Cheshire Cat plays a trick on the Red Queen and leads her to believe that the stray dog she found can talk and is named Charles Chumley Cogswell Jones III (Jonesy for short). The Queen, sure that a talking dog will bring her fame and fortune, books a spot on a TV program to showcase her talented terrier. But to the Queen's chagrin, the previously garrulous dog is as quiet as a mouse once it's on the air.
