This second entry in Warner Bros.' "Merrie Melodie" series stars Foxy and Roxy, who bear a remarkable resemblance to a pair of popular rodent characters then appearing in the Walt Disney cartoons. On this occasion, Foxy is a trolley-car conductor, enthusiastically singing the title song (later heard to even better effect in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit as he contends with fat hippo passengers, a recalcitant cow with a musical udder, a group of slightly effeminate hoboes, and a singing chicken in a stewpot. After picking up Roxy, Foxy embarks upon a wild ride indeed as his trolley careens out of control, leading to a mighty crash and a surprise ending.

This cartoon marks the debut of Piggy and Fluffy, Warner Bros.' newest Mickey-and-Minnie derivations. Our hero and heroine head to a vaudeville show, where Piggy gets into an argument with the "all funny animal" orchestra. Somehow or other, Piggy himself ends up on stage, where he is heckled by a trio of drunks singing the title song. This in turn leads to a chaotic drunken joyride through the streets of Merrie Melodie-land, complete with a talking car (voice provided by then-famous musician Orlando Slim Martin).

Warner Bros.' resident Mickey Mouse clone Foxy is now a helmeted, club-wielding policeman, prowling his beat to the rhythm of the cartoon's title song. Unfortunately, Foxy's neighborhood is Ground Zero for a violent crime wave perpetrated by a gang of birdlike gangsters. As the story rushes to its climax, the villains kidnap Foxy's girlfriend Roxy, forcing our hero to commandeer a mechanical horse and ride to the rescue. One of the cartoon's comic highlight is Foxy's encounter with a fat lady hippo, a carryover from his previous starring vehicle Smile, Darn Ya, Smile.
