Mouse Trapped
Hickory and Dickory, the two mice, overhear a news report that all black cats will be exterminated because it is Friday the 13th. Doc, who is a black cat, is being hounded by the police. They try to "help" him but their attempts cause more harm than good (they tell him to hide in Cecil the bulldog's doghouse and inside a running dishwasher). When he discovers he's being given the "run-around", he tries to get his revenge on them (and on Cecil the bulldog) but all his attempts fail miserably.

Bee Bopped
After a short history on bees and bee-keeping, we find Windy the bear's attempts to steal honey from a bee hive (he is teaching his son the "right" way to get honey) only to be attacked by the bee inside. Windy tries a number of attempts to outsmart the bee. He floods the hive, dresses as a queen bee, uses a bathroom plunger to trap the bee (only to get it stuck to various parts of his body) and finally tries to dynamite it, only succeeding in blowing himself up. At the hospital, he is served honey and hotcakes in bed... by a male nurse who looks suspiciously like the bee he just tangled with!

Witty Kitty
Two hungry alley cats hatch a plan to score a meal by running “the old raffle game.” They offer a turkey as the prize and convince Doc to pick a ticket, not knowing there is only one, which of course makes him the winner. The cats send Doc to a nearby house to claim the prize, but the turkey is locked in a refrigerator guarded by a tough watchdog named Cecil. Doc makes several failed attempts to outsmart the dog, while Hickory and Dickory only make things worse. Doc finally manages to grab the turkey by putting roller skates on Cecil, but the dog crashes through the door and ruins the cats’ long-awaited feast.
