Pongo, a clever Dalmatian, who arranges to get married to the
female of his choice, Perdita, and to round things out, gets his
master, Roger Radcliff, wed to Perdita's owner, Anita. Soon
Perdita produces 15 puppies, which the evil Cruella De Vil
arranges to have kidnapped in her quest to make a fabulous
Dalmatian fur coat, also gathering many other puppies in order
to accomplish her aim. Helped by the Twilight Bark, whereby
dogs throughout the city and the countryside pass along the
world of the missing puppies by barking, Pongo and Perdita go
into action action and locate 99 stolen puppies in Cruella's home,
Hell Hall. All the puppies are rescued and adoptated by Roger and
Anita to build a "Dalmatian Plantation".
