When Bugs descends by his special, hole-shaped elevator from the stage to his dressing room there beneath, he finds that he has company- the show's viewer. So, Bugs as a dutiful host invites his guest to join him in watching a high-rated television show, a parody of The Beverly Hillbillies, with Bugs honing his square dance-calling talent, with agonizing consequences for a pair of rustics of the Ozark Mountains. In a mouse version of The Honeymooners, toy bus driver Ralph Crumden and kitchen sink worker Ned Morton strive to snatch a cupcake for a surprise birthday confection for Ralph's spouse, Alice, from the humans' kitchen in the Brooklyn apartment in which they and their whiskered wives have neighboring hole dwellings. However, a cat blocks their path to the refrigerator and the cupcake therein. So, Crumden and Morton plot to outwit their feline opponent.

After a cartoon wherein Bugs is the victorious protagonist in a pre-1900 San Franciscan gambling casino confrontation with the ruffian who stole his gold and Bugs has next presented to the audience the tale of a little chicken hawk who caught for his personal consumption the husky rooster who had been lecturing him about "starting small", Daffy disguises himself as Bugs to host the show, but a sheepdog, on a day free from his work, walks into the studio, hoping to catch the bunny-rabbit (Bugs) that he saw on television on the previous week. Daffy, in his rabbit suit, is accosted by the dog, while Bugs, off stage, introduces a cartoon with Sylvester, whose human masters depart for a two-week California vacation and have left him alone in a locked-and-sealed house.
