| Plot Summary |
Screwy Squirrel decides to hijack this cartoon from his friend, Sammy Squirrel, who wanted to tell a sweet story about him and his cute woodland friends. Instead, Screwy Squirrel wants to make the cartoon a battle of the wits between himself and a bird dog named Meathead. Despite Meathead being solely a dog that chases birds, Screwy Squirrel goads him into chasing him. Meathead can't let the insults from Scewy Squirrel go by without that chase. Screwy Squirrel seems to have Meathead's number as Meathead ends up on the losing end time after time when he tries to catch Screwy Squirrel. Ultimately, Screwy Squirrel provides the answer to why he is always one up on Meathead.

| Goofs |
On the beached ship, Screwy paints a water/sky landscape on a placard to simulate the ship rocking by tipping the picture back and forth outside the porthole in order to make Meathead seasick. Watching Screwy, it is seen that he sometimes lifts the bottom of the painted placard above the bottom of the porthole window. However, when seen from inside the ship (where Meathead is), the view of the "water" (painted bottom of the placard) is unbroken.
