George has to stay with Hundley in the lobby as the apartment gets cleaned but Hundley does not want George to eat his messy snack in the lobby. After George and Hundley get locked out in the alley behind the apartment building, Hundley runs off trying to find a better way in. George follows him and they eventually meet in a place very far away from home. They decide that, since it is dark out and they can not see their way home, they can hear their way home instead.
