Short movie from 1934 about Norakuro from the Fierce Dog Brigade who is now promoted to Corporal and chases a mountain monkey that has stolen a confidential document.

Norakuro (&#12398;&#12425;&#12367;&#12429;) is a Japanese manga series created by Suihou Tagawa. The titular protagonist, Norakuro, or Norakuro-kun, is a black and white dog. The name Norakuro is an abbreviation of norainu (&#37326;&#33391;&#29356;, stray dog) and Kurokichi (&#40658;&#21513;, the name of the dog, literally meaning "black lucky").<br><br>

Norakuro is a black dog enlisted in the "Mokenrentai" (Fierce Dog Brigade), an Imperial army of dogs fighting in a war against the enemy Monkey Army.

Norakuro is a stray black-and-white dog in an army of white dogs who blundered his way while being a Private Second-Class.

This series was relatively faithful to the comics. One big change, however, was the addition of the army nurse Miko, whom Norakuro had a crush on. For this series, Norakuro was voiced by Nobuyo Ooyama, who would later become noted for voicing Doraemon.
