- Charlie relates his harrowing vacation to his co-workers, including his encounter with two confused, derby-hatted hitchikers.
- Susan Hart, assistant to private detective Russ Ashton, is given a camera concealed in a hat box and assigned to take a picture of a woman. A gun is accidentally hidden in the box and the woman is killed. Susan is charged with murder, but Russ and his less-than-useful associate, Harvard, get on the case and prove that the fatal shot was fired by the killer from across the street.
- A jewel thief uses Buster as an unsuspecting dupe.
- The boys buy mama a new hat for Mother's Day, but on the way home, fall in the mud and ruin it. They swap the bad hat with one that a nearby horse is wearing and head home, with the horse in pursuit. Mama loves her new hat, and sets out to show her friends, but encounters the horse, who goes after the hat. The horse chases her home, where the kids divert it into a room and try on several different hats. The horse tires of this, and ends up in the basement, where a gluepot spills, attaching a fan to its rump, which gets switched on and, combined with a drop-leaf table, turns the horse into an airplane. It collects the entire family, flies outside, and eventually crashes into a circular clothes rack, which turns into a merry-go-round with everyone grabbing for the hat like a brass ring.
- The audience enters Porky's movie theater, with a collection of quick gags: A firefly acting as usher, a kangaroo taking tickets and putting the stubs in her pouch, a chicken buying child tickets for her eggs. A skunk tries to buy a ticket, costing a nickel, but he only has one scent. He looks for a way to sneak in. Meanwhile, Porky introduces the show: a collection of cartoons, drawn as stick figures. At the end, the audience is all gone because the skunk managed to sneak in. Porky's cartoons include: Circus Parade, Choo-Choo Train, Soldiers (Marchin), Horse Race, and Dances (hula, Mexican hat, and ballet). All accompanied by a self-parody musical score.
- Porky's birthday. His uncle sends him a silkworm that churns out articles of clothing when it hears the word "sew." After a sock and a bra, Porky stuffs it in a pocket to prepare for his party. He uses some hair tonic, then his dog Black Fury has some for himself it's 99% alcohol. The guests arrive: a penguin and a goose. The penguin, shoveling in the food, accidentally swallows the worm, which starts churning out top hats, which pop open inside the penguin's head. The goose tries increasingly violent ways of remedying this. Meanwhile, Porky's dog, lathered with shaving cream, runs in and is branded a mad dog.
- Two workers in a manhole call etiquette columnist Benchley for advice. Two of the topics he advises them about are what to do when a lady enters the room and the proper way to behave when one is an overnight guest.
- An off-camera narrator presents several scenarios of "just suppose." First, if a private detective behaved at home as he does in the movies, would it be anything but a ticket to a domestic disturbance? Next, a son gets to treat his father the way his father treats him. In the third episode, a man shops for a hat the way a woman does, to the shopkeeper's chagrin. The last and longest sketch supposes a household in which the man gets pregnant and gives birth; the mom, clueless about babies and little children, is the one who has the career.
- Betty's young cousin, Buzzy, takes the train to visit Betty. On the train, she's helpful, in a bratty kind of way, using her chewing gum to stick on a sleeping man's toupee, watering the flowers in a lady's hat, etc. At Betty's house, she sees the boys next door playing marbles and tries to join in; she proves better at things like walking on a fence than the boys, and even fares well with the goat the boys unleash.
- Delilah knits the hair from Samson into a hat. The hat gives its wearer super strength: Hercules, Samson, and in the modern day, the nebbishy Willoughby Wren. Willoughby decides he needs to put this power to good use, and sets about rescuing a fair maiden who is being menaced by a giant evil robot. The problem is, his hat keeps falling off at inopportune moments.
- A wife explains the habits her husband has that drive her crazy.
- Film about a hat which changes its owners, until it ends up in the possession of a beggar who collects charity with it.
- Joe McDoakes and his wife love to participate in radio show contests, but something seems to interfere every time they are lucky enough to be chosen as participants.
- A farmer, proud of his beautiful garden, is invaded by two gophers.
- Elmer Fudd narrates a newsreel (but is never seen on screen). A hunter uses a moose call; the moose answers back using a hunter call. A barber uses an invention to startle a boy. A man uses a rear-view mirror to guard his hat while eating, but that's not all he should have guarded. In a laboratory, we see how rabbits multiply: 2x2=4, etc. Fireflies are having a blackout. An artist uses his thumb to get the proportions correct as a model is posing. A baby chick follows along as ducks take their first swim. In the South, the traffic signs read "No U-All Turns." A baseball pitcher throws a dollar across the Potomac, but it gets only halfway; his Scotty dog explains that a dollar doesn't go as far. A fox hunt: the dogs run in circles, because the lead dog is romancing the fox. A new department store is about to be built, and it's already attracted a protestor. Finally, we see a series of battleships, all in the rain except the U.S.S. California, in bright sunshine.
- Oswald and Sissie visit Slumberland and meets all kinds of peculiar folk.
- Occupants of two contrasting rooftops merge to put on a musical show. Representing the tenement roofers are singer Peg La Centra, child accordian player Gina Valenti and the dance team of Selden and Endler, while the swanky apartment building crowd is Al Cooper and his swing band and the high-hat tap dancers, The Debonaires.
