The Fox, once again, is plagued with a toothache, and once again is in search for a dentist to relieve his agony, and he, once again, finds Mr. Crow, pretending to be a dentist. This leads to no end of painful consequences for Mr. Fox.
Out in the desert, a dopey wolf tries to catch an obnoxious rabbit.
A cat who has just been chased by a mouse wielding a meat cleaver laments, "Why can't I catch that mouse?!" A parrot reading "Superkatt" comics tells the feline he can if he just tries to emulate everyone's favorite comic book hero. So he obtains a costume like Superkatt's (a baby outfit) and after making a less-than-spectacular heroic entrance, chases the rodent consulting his comic for advice. He sets a trap with an enormous sack of flour set to flatten the rodent but it falls on him instead! He tries sucking the mouse out with a vacuum but only captures a vast bulldog. He tries blowing the mouse up with gun powder and then attacks him with pruning shears, finally going in after the mouse himself. The mouse escapes and destroys the now trapped cat with a powder keg.
A parrot, sick of eating crackers, receives a luncheon invitation from a goat. Nuts, bolts, springs, door hinges and other inedible edibles are on the menu.
A starving horse tries to convince Puzzlewitz the window-washer to give him a lunch break. The horse washes windows, too!
Fuzzy Wuzzy, an aboriginal Australian, rides his less-than-trusty ostrich across Bush country, hunting kangaroos with his boomerang. He finds a boxing kangaroo, complete with boxing gloves, who is easy to fool but not easy to catch.
A Dave Fleischer produced animated short.
The fox is sailing the high seas looking for buried treasure. The crow, eyeing the fox as a sucker, passes his island home off as "Treasure Island", assuring the fox it is loaded with gold (which he proves by showing the fox phoney gold bricks which are really construction bricks painted yellow). However, there is a $2.00 fee for digging on his island which the fox refuses to pay. He tries to extract the "gold" by himself but the crow sabotages his efforts. First, he removes the blade from the fox's pickax.
A Frank Sinatra-like cat can make all the bobby soxers swoon with one wink. He sets out to conquer the sole exception, but a bulldog gets in his way.
Willoughby Wren gets a job at a circus and, with the help of this magic hat, saves the circus from an escaped gorilla.
