Plot

In a sunny californian suburb, an anthromorphic donkey brings a basket of rubber to his front yard for wartime recycling and creates a small pile, but is shocked to see his neighbours have created much larger piles than his. He comes across an innertube buried in his back yard, but it seems the innertube has a mind of its own.
