A fat hen, who has built a nest in Pluto's kennel, is distracted by a butterfly and goes off to chase it, leaving Pluto in charge of looking after her newly-hatched chicks. Like any sensible man Pluto would rather have his freedom and not be anchored by needy children. His attempts at ditching them fail however, and he eventually is suckered into caring for them after being smitten by the runt.
Mother hen soon returns and is shocked that her neglectful parenting has resulted in wayward offspring. She calls on the alpha cockerel to sort out Pluto's interference, which he solves with violence and intimidation.
Underlying message of cartoon: if you cannot be bothered looking after your children properly just let them go free and have nature take its course. If this does not work out for the best then blame whatever entity your children chose instead.
Second underlying message of cartoon: everyone involved with your children are a bad and/or dangerous influence and must be viewed with suspicion and dealt with in violence/hostility.
