Foghorn Leghorn introduces Miss Prissy, who, Foghorn says, is an old-time actress. Foghorn reenacts some of Prissy's famous roles, including "Romeo and Juliet", in which she played both parts, and an act involving precarious balancing on a stack of chairs and juggling of bowling pins and hoops. Prissy initiates the cartoons by looking into a crystal ball, and she sees mirthful musical notes preparing for collective self-rendition of "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss and Bugs foiling a scientist's plan to transfer his consciousness into the feathered head of a chicken.
