A lighthearted cartoon romp where a scheming gorilla repeatedly fails to cheat his way past an imperturbable dog in a series of sports competitions.

Droopy and Gorgeous Gorillawitz (Spike) are competing for the title of King of Sports and for a kiss from the Queen of Sports. Spike cheats as much as possible but can never seem to beat Droopy.
