Plot

The familiar chase between Wile E. Coyote, and the Road Runner, unfolds with its classic slapstick humor.

Coyote sets a trap with a washtub and dynamite, but ends up encased in a tube from the explosion.
Attempting to bash the Road Runner with a sledgehammer, Coyote gets bashed himself due to mishap.
ACME bird seed on railroad tracks leads to Coyote being flattened by a passing train.
Coyote's attempt to catch Road Runner with a harpoon attached to a balloon backfires as he gets struck by lightning.
Dynamite trap backfires as Coyote ends up blown up by his own detonator.
Using a piano suspended by a rope, Coyote's plan fails as he ends up with piano keys for teeth after the piano drops on him.
An intricate Rube Goldberg-style contraption sets off a cannon intended for Road Runner, but the cannonball plummets on top of the unsuspecting Coyote instead of the curious Road Runner. After the Coyote is bashed into the ground, the words "The End" appear on the cannonball.
