Plot

Woody Woodpecker arrives at the fair and buys some bubble gum. He meets up with salesman Buzz Buzzard, whom he unwittingly annoys with his gum. Irritated, Buzz pops Woody's gum with his cane, then clonks him on the head with the cane. Then he forces Woody to drink his Had-a-Cough bottle. Woody retaliates, and throws the Had-a-Cough bottle at Buzz, knocking him into a glass bottle. Woody's pursued by Buzz throughout most of the fair after that, with Woody always one-upping Buzz. The final scene sees Woody lighting some cigars on an unconscious Buzz Buzzard, and sending him into outer space.
