Elmer Fudd is host of this mainly music-oriented installment, opened by Bugs' antics as a tuneful barber. While on stage after cartoon one, Elmer tries to sing, but he is thwarted when the notes on his sheet music run off of their page, reminding Elmer of his July 4 life-or-death struggle against belligerent picnic ants. Sylvester, outside of the studio, spoils Elmer's endeavor to conduct an orchestra, by wearing boots and singing "tra-la-la" while noisily stomping up and down a wooden stairwell. The Goofy Gophers seek to regain their vegetable harvest, which has been moved to a food processing factory.
