Plot

Wile E. Coyote is shown brandishing scissors on top of a high-rise tree branch, ready to cut a rope and drop a rock onto the passing Road Runner. The rock displays the title, and when it falls to the ground and barely misses, the credits are shown in the dust. Next, the Coyote attacks with a rocket, then an ACME giant elastic rubber band. He tries to smash the Road Runner with a rock, then run him over with a railroad. He attempts to blow the bird up with a hand grenade, then squash him with a bowling ball. With all the forces of nature against him, the coyote plugs himself into an ACME Indestructo Steel Ball and rolls himself off an escarpment. The ball rolls off course, coyote inside, and through a tortuous course. The entire sequence repeats as the Road Runner approaches once again, and after Wile E. misses him for a second time, the Road Runner holds up a sign that says "HERE WE GO AGAIN", beeps, and then dashes off into the distance as the cartoon irises out.
