Firsta haircut, shampoo, and manicure, next a wave as in the latest lion fashion magazine - then an elegant new jacket and cap, and last a bouquet of dandelions for the hostess. But when a loveable lion undergoes an overhaul it can sometimes prove disastrous, and what happens to Dandelion before and after is told in a deliciously sly and humorous fashion.
