Soup or Sonic is an animated cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series, starring Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.

Introduction: The usual chase occurs until it ends on a mountainside, with the Road Runner (Ultra-Sonicus Ad Infinitum) ducking behind a corner and leaving a cloud of dust for Wile E. Coyote (Nemesis Ridiculii) to run into.

Eventually, the pole turns around so fast that it whirrs like a propeller, and then grinds against a cliff side all the way down to the part Wile E. is holding.

When it finally stops rotating, the Coyote then pulls himself onto the narrow bar left of the pole and accepts his fate as he falls into a canyon.

Wile E. sits on a rocket and lights the fuse, aiming towards the Road Runner on the opposite site of the chasm.

The first attempt fails when the fuel and nosecone launch out of the rocket, leaving Wile E. sitting on an empty hull.

Eventually, the weight overcomes him and the Coyote is pulled through the pulley, removing all of his chest fur, and then down onto a see-saw as the safe lands next to him.

The Coyote does not notice until he puts his foot down on the firework and instinctively pulls it away just before it explodes, leaving him dazed, but apparently unhurt.

On his third attempt with the rocket, he lights the fuse, but it burns quickly and fires successfully out from under him before he can get ready and leaves Wile E. floating in midair with a cloud of dust blocking his view below.

On his final try with the rocket, Wile E. accidentally ignites his tail instead of the fuse, detects his mistake and leaps up in pain only to smash his head on another outcropping.

Unfortunately, the rocket is off-target, and it bores through the cliff under the Road Runner, then explodes, blackening the Coyote and throwing him back into the air, holding a sign saying "How did I ever get into this line of work?"

A new plan is formulated, where Wile E. attempts to blow up the Road Runner by pelting explosive tennis balls at him.
