When the dog hears that Elmer and his wife are planning a dinner and need to prepare an animal, he convinces the wife to turn Daffy into the meal. So, Elmer goes after Daffy, with Daffy always figuring out a way to avoid getting captured. When Daffy does get captured and is ready to be cooked, it turns out that the guest is a vegetarian.
