Jon Arbuckle, Garfield and Odie drive to Cactus Jake's Dude Ranch. Garfield enjoys a snow cone during the ride, mentioning that he has an entire supply of snow cones for the trip. Garfield then offers Odie a lick, which Odie agrees to before Garfield actually licks Odie.
   
At the distance of ten miles from the way point, a tire gets pierced with the sound of a shooting firearm. Garfield cracks a Wild-West joke, playing lethally wounded by a gunshot. When Jon explains that it was just a flat tire, Garfield states that Jon has no sense of humor.

Ten miles from the way point, a tire is blown, with a sound similar to a shooting firearm. Garfield pretends to have been shot, as if in the Old West, while Jon tells him that it was just a flat tire.
   
It turns out, that the travelers don't have a spare tire in the car's trunk since Garfield had put more snow cones in lieu of the spare tire. Jon's attempt to explain Garfield's idea being a mistake is countered by a statement, that Garfield should have taken more lemon snow cones rather than grape ones. Jon decides to walk back to the gas station they had seen on their way to the ranch and seek help there, while Garfield and Odie are told to stay out of the sun. When Jon leaves, Garfield demonstrates his way of saving ice cream for later - by immediately getting one from the stock.

Jon goes out to the trunk for a spare tire, only to find Garfield's snow cone supply in lieu of the spare tire. Jon walks back to the gas station they had seen on their way to the ranch and seek help there, cautioning Garfield and Odie to stay out of the sun. Walking through the desert road, an exhausted Jon eventually arrives at the gas station. Jon asks for help, with a cashier in the station explaining that it is a self-service facility.
   
Walking through the desert road exhausts Jon, but luckily he arrives at the gas station. The cashier in the station tells Jon that it is a self-service facility and they do not provide help for customers. Meanwhile, Garfield manages to empty his stash of snow cones in the middle of the desert heat, then he explains to Odie the "mirage phenomenon". Odie sees a mirage - a swimming pool in the middle of the desert, then he rushes to swim there, not paying attention to Garfield's warnings. Garfield sees Odie swimming backstroke in the pool, but when he attempts swimming, the pool illusion immediately wears off and it turns out that Odie is swimming in sand, until he bumps into a rock.

When Garfield sees Odie swimming backstroke in the pool, he attempts to jump in with him. The pool disappears just before Garfield lands, while Odie, swimming in the sand, eventually bumps into a rock.
   
Odie experiences another mirage, this time an amusement park not far away from the illusionary swimming pool. While chasing Odie, Garfield asks the audience if anyone is willing to buy a dog, then Odie is seen enjoying a merry-go-round. The illusion disappears after Garfield explains to Odie that they are experiencing another mirage. Having landed on Garfield, Odie is told that his brain is also a mirage.

Overview

Dessert in the Desert is the third segment from the forty-seventh episode of Garfield and Friends.

Synopsis

After Jon gets a flat tire, Garfield and Odie get lost in the desert, where they see mirages.

Plot

Jon Arbuckle, Garfield and Odie drive to Cactus Jake's Dude Ranch. Garfield enjoys a snow cone during the ride, mentioning that he has an entire supply of snow cones for the trip. Garfield then offers Odie a lick, which Odie agrees to before Garfield actually licks Odie.

Ten miles from the way point, a tire is blown, with a sound similar to a shooting firearm. Garfield pretends to have been shot, as if in the Old West, while Jon tells him that it was just a flat tire.

Jon goes out to the trunk for a spare tire, only to find Garfield's snow cone supply in lieu of the spare tire. Jon walks back to the gas station they had seen on their way to the ranch and seek help there, cautioning Garfield and Odie to stay out of the sun. Walking through the desert road, an exhausted Jon eventually arrives at the gas station. Jon asks for help, with a cashier in the station explaining that it is a self-service facility.

Meanwhile, Garfield manages to deplete his stash of snow cones in the middle of the desert heat. He then explains to Odie about seeing mirages in the desert. Odie soon spots a swimming pool out in the middle of the desert- the first mirage. He rushes to swim there, not paying attention to Garfield's warnings. When Garfield sees Odie swimming backstroke in the pool, he attempts to jump in with him. The pool disappears just before Garfield lands, while Odie, swimming in the sand, eventually bumps into a rock.

Odie experiences another mirage, this time an amusement park not far away from the "swimming pool". Garfield follows, spotting Odie enjoying a merry-go-round. The illusion disappears after Garfield explains to Odie that it is another mirage. The pets try to walk back to the car, only to discover that they are lost.

Meanwhile, Jon has managed to find help at the gas station; he comes back to his car in a "Homer's Tow Service" truck with a greedy employee. Jon finds that Garfield and Odie have abandoned the car and apparently gotten lost, judging by the paw prints left behind. He tells the employee to follow the tracks, with the employee responding that it will cost him more.

As the duo continue to wander through the desert, an exhausted Garfield feels that they are done for, when Odie spots what appears to be an ice-cream parlor and attempts to bring Garfield there. After seeing Odie enjoy a drink and ice-cream, Garfield wants to try it, despite figuring that he will get "another sand mouthful" After discovering that it was another mirage, Garfield becomes despaired again. Eventually, a "real" Jon appears, much to Garfield's gratitude.

While the tow truck is driving back to Jon's car, Garfield spots three female cats in bikinis resting around a huge lasagna (which Garfield figures is "the second largest lasagna" he has ever seen). Garfield tries to go after it, with Jon holding him back and telling him that it is just a mirage.
