.
While he is doing push-ups however he sees a chicken pass by with unnaturally short legs. When he picks up the chicken, he uncovers Henery Hawk who then tries to take Foghorn. In response, Foghorn sends Henery on a wild ride on a plate. It flies over to the dog's kennel who is panicked by "A flying saucer! Little man from Mars!" and hides in and barricades the kennel. Henery however flies through a hole in the back of the kennel which causes the dog to burst through the roof of his kennel.
He picks the chicken hawk up and Henery explains that Foghorn did this. When the dog informs Henery that Foghorn is a chicken when they see the rooster doing pull-ups, the dog convinces him to put Foghorn in a cooking pot and cook him. The heat from the fire causes Foghorn to rocket out in pain and when he crash-lands into some trash he quickly figures that the dog was responsible for what had just happened, saying "I ju..., I say, I just know that marble-headed mongrel is back of all this."
From this point on, Foghorn's pranks begin to backfire on him. When he constructs an eleborate pipeline to blow a stick of dynamite out of the dog's kennel with the intention of blowing the dog up, while he tries to light a lighter to ignite the dynamite, the dog lights a match from the other side and blows it over to Foghorn who gets blown up instead. The feathers of his upper half come out from the pipe which Foghorn is quick to pick up, saying "Fortunately, I keep my feathers numbered for, for just such an emergency."
Later on, Foghorn takes the dog and his kennel with an intention to entomb both in concrete from a cement truck. The rooster pours out a small fraction of concrete to place the kennel on as a precaution in case the dog tries to escape. However, when Foghorn tries to pour the whole load of concrete onto it, a ramp comes out from the mixer and the whole concrete load flows onto Foghorn instead! Foghorn can do nothing as he is frozen into a Thinker-like pose. The dog asks him, "Well, smarty-pants, what ya gonna do now?", to which Foghorn replies "Don't, I say, don't bother me dawg. Can't ya see I'm thinkin?" Henery Hawk reappears and drags a tough-to-chew dinner home with him, ending the cartoon by saying "Of all the kinds of chickens in the world, I had to catch me a PLYMOUTH ROCK!"

Plot
Foghorn Leghorn as usual sneaks up on the Barnyard Dawg and hits his rear with a 2x4 and when the chase begins, Foghorn leads the dog over a well, which the dog -when his rope reaches its limit- falls into, taking his kennel with him! After the dog bails all the water out following this, he sneaks up on Foghorn and attacks him while the rooster is asleep. Foghorn says that he could pay a visit to the dog and "gently break him in two with my good right arm" when his muscles turn slack. He resolves to do some exercises to build them up.While he is doing push-ups however he sees a chicken pass by with unnaturally short legs. When he picks up the chicken, he uncovers Henery Hawk who then tries to take Foghorn. In response, Foghorn sends Henery on a wild ride on a plate. It flies over to the dog's kennel who is panicked by "A flying saucer! Little man from Mars!" and hides in and barricades the kennel. Henery however flies through a hole in the back of the kennel which causes the dog to burst through the roof of his kennel.
