Plot

Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner continue their game of cat and mouse. Over the title cards, the Coyote chases down the Road Runner with a rocket. He then sets up various traps using a see-saw, a trampoline, a sniper rifle, a giant rubber band, a bunch of fireworks inside a barrel, a high wire structure, a pile of TNT underneath a high bridge, and ACME Tornado Seeds in hopes of trapping the Road Runner. The Road Runner evades every trap and ends by dragging the Coyote into an army mine field. Wile E. suffers explosion after explosion as the Road Runner pulls down the "That's All Folks!" end-title card like a curtain.
