During every tryouts - "see Simpson the Strong Man" test of strength, ringing the bell, "Pop the Balloons" shooting, "See a Woman Sawed in Half", "The Flying Human" flight test with a propeller on the head, riding a car through a sollid brick wall, "The Sharp Shooter", juggling, riding on a motorcycle through a ring of fire, flying on the trapeze, tightrope-walking, figure skating and "The Human Bullet" shoothing out of the cannon - Spike tries to overbest Droopy and sabotage his performances, to which he fails every time and gets himself injured a couple of times. During Droopy's final act, Spike tryes to sabotage the other again, by burning his foot with a matchstick.

This starts off as an adaptation of Robert W. Service's poem in spoof of The Shooting of Dan McGrew, complete with a literal depiction of a man with one foot in the grave, but when Dan McGoo turns out to be Droopy, it turns into another Droopy-versus-the Wolf/Wolf-goes-ape-for-the-girl gagfest.

Un chien (Willoughby) est en train de pister Bugs et commence à creuser afin de le trouver. Après que Bugs lui ait fait son traditionnel « Euh, quoi de neuf docteur ? », le chien se fait piéger avec le coup du miroir et se fait assommer par Bugs. Ils continuent leur poursuite dans un étang avant que Bugs ne lui glisse une tomate dans la main, lui faisant croire que le chien a écrasé le lapin. Ce dernier creuse un trou qui débouche sur un précipice. Le chien tombe en nous promettant d'être plus prudent, tandis que Bugs, en se moquant de lui, tombe lui aussi dans le trou. Commence une série de hurlements qui se poursuivent tout au long de la longue chute des deux protagonistes. Mais quelques mètres avant de percuter le sol, ils « freinent » et se retrouvent saufs, juste pour se moquer du public.

Ce dessin animé est une parodie de l'histoire bien connue des Trois Petits Cochons, produit dans le ton de la propagande anti-nazis de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Dans ce dessin animé, les cochons partent en guerre contre Adolf le Loup (sous les traits d’Adolf Hitler), qui menace d'envahir Cochonland (Pigmania dans la version américaine). Les deux cochons qui construisent leurs maisons en paille et en bois déclarent qu'ils n'ont pas besoin de prendre des précautions contre le loup puisqu'ils ont signé un Pacte de non-agression avec lui. Le cochon qui construit sa maison en pierre, le Sergent Pur Porc (Sergeant Pork dans la version américaine) prend ses précautions et renforce sa maison avec un puissant dispositif de défense composé de barbelés, de bunkers, d'obusiers et de tranchées.
