Synopsis

Fandom Wiki

As Mom has an errand to run, she leaves Nobita to do the housework and his homework. However, Nobita takes advantage to slack while she is away, so Doraemon takes out a gadget to get Nobita to do his homework and buy dorayaki for him. As Nobita struggles to resist from going out of the house, he stops controlling him and introduces Nobita the Scenario Lighter that allows the cast to enact a scene as if they were in a play.

Nobita uses the gadget and writes a western play which involves himself as the gunman, Shizuka as the lady, and Gian and Suneo as the bandits. They proceed to the open lot where they see Gian and Suneo abusing a dog named Nobi-Inu. They turn on the lighter and begin the scene, but incorrect characters show up throughout the play. As a result of all the typos, the play ends with Shizuka asking Nobi-Inu to leave with her instead of Nobita and they walk back home.
