Five minutes after General Information hangs his uniform out to air, Ham and Bud have it in their possession and are speeding towards the horizon. When safe from pursuit, Ham gets into the uniform. The gallant general was to have been the guest of honor at a picnic given by the Ancient Order of United Pollywogs. Although the members of the organization know the man by reputation, they have never seen him. Consequently, when Ham appears at the picnic grounds, they give him the grand salaam. A series of contests have been arranged for the edification of the guest of honor. The first is a tug-of-war. Ham, however, breaks this up when he accidentally sets fire to the rope. When the pie-eating contest is announced, Ham and Bud enter. Ham wins by the simple expedient of tucking the pies inside his shirt when no one is looking. Bud, however, almost queers matters, when he playfully hits Ham on the chest. A prize of $100 tempts Ham and his army to enter the greased pig contest. Although the chase leads over hill and dale and through houses. Ham finally captures the porker. He has just been awarded the prize when the real General Information, mad as a hornet, appears upon the scene. With one accord, Ham and Bud turn and flee with the speed of frightened jack rabbits.
