Granny departs and entrusts Hector the Bulldog with Tweety's safety, warning that she will shoot him if Tweety is harmed. Hector feels the pressure but vows to protect Tweety at all costs. The threat sets up the high stakes for the day.

Sylvester tries to reach Tweety by disguising himself as a scarecrow with ragged clothes and tall stilts. Hector barks, alerting Tweety to the danger, and Sylvester loses his balance in the ruse. In frustration, he yells his only spoken line in the cartoon, 'Aaaaah, Shaddap!'

Hector bites Sylvester's wooden leg and chases the cat off across the yard, preventing another ambush on Tweety. Sylvester retreats, licking his wounds and plotting a new approach. The verbal threat remains in the air as the chase continues.

Tweety slips from his cage and begins to explore the farm, greeting the animals with bold curiosity. He comments on the cow with 'Hello, moo-moo cow!' and teases the pig with 'Hi there, dirty piggy!' The outing shows Tweety's fearless, cheeky nature.

Tweety spots a goat and assumes it is Sylvester in a rubber mask, greeting it with 'Hello, puddy tat!'. Realizing something is off, Tweety grows wary and keeps an eye out for real danger. The moment heightens the tension as Sylvester's hunt continues unseen.

Seeking safety, Tweety hops into a chicken coop and tries to stay hidden among the clucking hens. The tense moment gives Tweety a chance to observe the coop's defenses. He remains alert for any sign of Sylvester's approach.

Sylvester makes several attempts to slip into the coop, first as a toy Soldier and then dressed as a hen. The rooster intervenes each time, delivering fast, decisive beatings that keep the cat at bay. The deception collapses under the roosters' watchful eyes.

While mimicking a baby chick, Tweety discovers a worm and orders it to hide from the other chickens, treating it as a sly ally. The exchange shows Tweety's cunning and ability to turn even small creatures into partners in danger. He uses the worm as a metaphorical shield against predators.

In a final, elaborate ruse, Sylvester, still in a hen costume, is watched by the rooster who pretends to hatch him using a 'grenade' to force him into the open. The stunt exaggerates the cartoonish danger while heightening the humor. Tweety remains hidden, aware that the plan could blow up at any moment.

Realizing Tweety is missing, Hector panics at Granny's looming anger and decides to intervene. He paints Sylvester yellow, stuffs the real cat into Tweety's cage, and has Sylvester imitate Tweety to maintain the ruse. The ruse buys time and keeps Granny from noticing the deception.

Granny returns to the farm and, to her relief, accepts the ruse as Tweety is believed safe. She doesn't see through the swapped personas, which lets Hector keep Tweety out of danger for the moment. The tension diffuses as the plan seems to work.

Tweety comes back and, noticing the altered appearances, decides to adopt the cat persona by quipping that 'If he's a birdie, den dat makes me a putty tat.' He then acts like a cat, much to Hector's shock and confusion. The ending reveals the swapped identities have turned the tables, at least for the moment.
