A frenetic, slapstick cartoon built entirely on visual gags and escalating physical comedy between two anthropomorphic animals locked in absurd conflict.

Collection of classic Tex Avery visual gags, set up as a battle between a sleep-deprived bulldog who just wants some shut-eye and a rooster driven by his natural instincts to crow all night long.
