Two cats,
Babbit and Catstello, are looking for food to alleviate their hunger. Babbit gets a ladder when they see a bird (Tweety; then-called Orson) on top of a frail tree. Catstello is at first reluctant, but manages to go up the ladder. As Babbit demands his partner to get the bird, Catstello experiences "
heightrophobia" and falls down the ladder after failing to catch Orson from his nest. Babbit then puts Catstello in the following attempts to catch the bird to only end in vain: • First he tries to launch Catstello in the air with the use of jack-in-the-box springs. When Orson first encounters Catstello, he speaks to the audience in surprise ("I tawt I taw a putty tat!") before violently attacking him, culminating in him blowing the cat up with a stick of dynamite. • Babbit's next plan is to send the demotivated Catstello up a tree with the use of a TNT barrel. However, Catstello careens off course and crashes onto the roof of a farmhouse before hanging upside down on a wire. Orson then plays "
This Little Pitty" with his foot, causing him to fall. He attempts to "save" the cat by giving him a rope tied to an anvil, which falls off the roof and crash lands onto Catstello deep into the ground. • Finally, Babbit constructs a makeshift glider for Catstello that he can use to swoop down and catch the bird. Orson reports this as an air raid and Catstello is swiftly shot down. Catsello's descent jump cuts between him and a shot of a pitchfork, but Catstello halts midair and safely lands on Babbit. Orson walks by acting as an
air raid warden and demanding a "total
bwackout". Just as Babbit and Catstello are about to catch him, the bird screams at the cats to turn out their
lights. ==Voice cast==
