Synopsis[]
After getting fed up of Odie's resistance to taking baths, Jon buys the "Shlocko Laundro-Mutt", a machine that bathe Odie faster and in a forceful manner. Garfield gets ideas with the machine to have fun at Odie's expense.
Plot[]
Odie is trying to hide from something. Garfield manages to find him and Jon gets Odie to take a bath, something he hates. Jon sees an ad on TV for a product called the Shlocko Laundro-Mutt, a cleaning robot that can wash a dog no matter how filthy it gets. He orders it and tests it, and it works as advertised. Jon then leaves to get some more cleaning supplies.
Seeing how much fun he could have with this, Garfield tries to get Odie dirty as often as possible to get the Shlocko Laundro-Mutt to wash him every time. After one such ruse where Garfield coats Odie in mud, Odie plots to turn the tables on him; he secretly puts the collar that is used to signal filth on the wearer on Garfield and serving him a messy chili dog. This causes the robot to wash Garfield in retaliation. Garfield makes amends with Odie, admitting what he did was a rotten thing to do. He then recalls who ordered the robot in the first place.
When Jon returns home, they put the collar on him and get him filthy, resulting in the Shlocko Laundro-Mutt to give the owner a wash while the pets go to play in the mud.
