☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Rural Free Delivery," Elmer's latest business venture—chicken farming—takes a bizarre turn when Foghorn Leghorn convinces him he’s got a laying hen capable of producing a ruby egg. Fred Abranz handles both art and inks for the story’s charmingly absurd antics, while Tony Strobl’s cover captures the chaos in bold, expressive lines. When a stolen ruby ends up in Elmer’s coop, the real trouble begins—especially when two crooks return to reclaim it, convinced Foghorn’s behind the heist.
In "The Chicken Challenge," Elmer sets out to raise chickens, only to be tricked by Foghorn into believing the rooster will lay a ruby egg. When a stolen gem ends up in the coop, Elmer takes it as proof of Foghorn’s miraculous egg, unaware the real trouble is just beginning. That night, the crooks return, demanding the ruby from Foghorn—leaving the rooster in a far-from-quiet predicament.
In "On the Beam," Elmer and Yosemite Sam set out for a simple day of fishing, only to find the fish moving in eerie unison—following a lone boat to a remote island. There, they stumble upon a mad inventor’s secret experiment: a hypnotic ray capable of influencing even the most complex creatures, including humans, with a single frequency change.
In "The Icebox Bugaboo," Daffy Duck grows frantic when Elmer Fudd starts a liquid diet, threatening the fridge's usual bounty. Desperate to restore his favorite snacks, Daffy hatches a scheme to convince Elmer he’s already slimmed down—before the cold storage runs completely dry.
