Speedy Gonzales is freezing in his mountaintop cabin, and so asks Daffy Duck if he can borrow some firewood. The ever-greedy duck stubbornly refuses, prompting Speedy to steal some wood so he can survive. Ripostes on both sides are thrown: 1: Daffy attempts to move all his firewood indoors, but Speedy ambushes him and quickly steals a log.
The final shot shows the mice happy with all their food as they dance in celebration. Sylvester sees this and declares "well, if you can't beat them, join them I always say".
