Gandy Goose has been studying his mail-order acting kit, and goes to visit his friend, Rudy Rooster, to show off his mimic skills. Rudy is unimpressed as his attention is more on another rooster who is bidding to replace Rudy as the ruler-of-the-roost in the hen-house. He gets Gandy to disguise himself as a fox and raid the hen-house, and Rudy will show up and run him off and be a hero of the hens. But...there is already a real fox in the barnyard and he has no intention of being run of by a rooster.
