He makes a miscalculation but manages to net himself a large supper!; The younger McTickles try to catch some Springy McHaggises, and come up with an idea, for which Murdo advises them to wear improvised crash helmets... just remind them to listen to him next time!; Whiskers' dragon puppet gives His Nibs an idea for taking Porky's cheese.; Little Plum opens a hairdressing shop and takes unlikely inspiration from a near-by ornamental hedge trimmer. When Buffalo Bill comes in, and mentions his painful time chasing buffalo through cactus country, Little Plum has a plan to help him.; Dennis and Curly both believe their dog to be the finer ratter in the district, and set out to prove it.
