A brisk, slapstick cartoon where a vain rooster's paranoid scheming against a helpless chick drives the comedic action across a farm setting.

On Old MacDonald's farm, an egg hatches in slow-witted hen Miss Prissy's nest, and out of the shell comes a baby rooster. Fearing he will be replaced by the new arrival and sent to be slaughtered, Foghorn Leghorn plots to do away with the tyke.
