Coo Coo the Bird Brain inadvertently becomes a coal miner when he accepts a ride from some birds who claim they cannot pay their fare and must work their way home; while shoveling coal, the pressure builds dangerously in the boiler, threatening an explosion. In a separate story, "The Cat and the Pelican," Kit Cat and a pelican go fishing in Florida, where they banter about the pelican's large mouth before the bird helps Kit recover stolen money from a criminal, earning the mayor's praise.

A young robin, mistaken for a fellow bird, is tricked into joining a chaotic, globe-trotting mission to announce spring—leading to a wild journey from Alaska to a frozen ship, where he’s forced to stoke a boiler before finally escaping back home.

Buster Bunny lies awake at night, frustrated that he can't fall asleep despite trying everything. He decides a glass of milk might help, only to find none in the house, leading to a comically exaggerated outburst of frustration.
