The feature then opens to a cat driving a large truck that says "The Buster Bear Carnival". The cat rings a bell as dogs and other cats run alongside the truck. A pair of pig twins are chasing the truck, one on a unicycle and one on foot. The one on the unicycle bears a strong resemblance to future Looney Tunes star Piggy, who was created by Rudolph Ising. He reads a newspaper and then tips his hat to the viewer. Buster Bear is waiting for the animals at town hall. He is their sheriff and M.C. for the event.

Delirious, he hits a major pipe, flooding the town hall and the iris closes on all the animals escaping Town Hall. The short ends with Buster wearing heavy eye shadow and saying "I'll be seeing ya!" on a ledge built from the planet Earth as beautiful clouds and stars pass by.
