The opening shows Foghorn Leghorn lounging in the barnyard at "Cocamunga" California, being fanned and serenaded by several hens, when a telegram arrives saying that his old college roommate, Rhode Island Red, will be paying him a visit.

Red sees the hens and tries to impress them by singing and playing a rendition of Freddy the Freshman.

Foghorn then falls backwards into a hole that he dug and is hit on the head by a boulder, traps that were intended for Red.

Foghorn breaks the fourth wall by looking at the viewer and saying: "I thought I had a sitting duck, but turned out he had a pigeon".

Red is then seen walking with the hens outside of the barnyard and asks them if they want to see the "star halfback at Chicken Tech" in action.

Unable to find a football, Red gets a casaba melon and hikes it to Foghorn, then goes out for a pass.

Feeling cheated that he has been victimized again, Foghorn runs back and takes one of the balls and tries to tee off.

A disheveled Red briefly returns to groggily remark: "With a friend like you, I'll never need an enemy!"
