A scheming character decides it's finally time to get a bone for himself instead of watching another fellow enjoy all the bones around here—so he devises a plan to swipe one when the opportunity strikes. What should be a simple theft turns into a chaotic chase full of slapstick mishaps and narrow escapes, all leading to a lesson learned the hard way about the grass not always being greener on the other side of the fence.

Blunderbunny takes a personal appearance at a theatre to demonstrate his latest invention—a "televisit machine" that doesn't just show you people on a screen, but actually brings them to you in the flesh. When the kids in the audience start requesting celebrities and performers, chaos erupts as Gene Autry, wrestlers, and a circus all materialize in rapid succession, turning the theatre into complete pandemonium. The inventor scrambles to control his creation as the situation spirals further out of hand.

A cantankerous household owner fed up with a canary and cat's constant commotion decides one of them has to go—but when a fire breaks out, the ensuing chaos forces an unlikely choice that may settle the matter once and for all. This 1950 *Funny Films* short subject delivers slapstick mayhem with anthropomorphic animals in true cartoon fashion, complete with all the crashes, crashes, and comedic reversals you'd expect from the era.
