Gloria was glum and grumpy Out of sorts. Sad and lumpy. A brand-new doll It's time to pout! Gloria felt so left out. Poor Gloria the bulldog thinks she has lost her best friend when the little girl who owns her receives a doll as a birthday present. Suddenly the girl Gloria does everything with now does everything with her new doll! But Gloria can't exactly tell anyone why she's upset, so the girl's brother and sister figure that Gloria just needs some cheering up. Maybe a bath Or a game of dress-up Or a bike ride Things go from silly to hysterical, but in the end Gloria is happily reunited with her best friend.
