[edit] Synopsis
It's Valentines Day and the hip feline has no love and no money except for seven cents. He then goes to a messenger service for a job and gets fired then buys a cassette player and pre-recorded cassettes with the seven cents he had left. He then goes back to the messenger service miming to an opera piece and gets hired as a messenger on Valentine's Day. Antics on the job entangle the breezy panther with a jealous husband, a snobby classic violinist (after the Panther used a precious violin as an electric guitar), vicious hounds, a sleek thief and tough gangsters. Finally, our hero meets the pantheress of his dreams, the ideal feline Valentine, thus rounding out this fun special.
