The cartoon starts with the arm of an animator drawing a farm scene. The farm scene then colors itself, and the camera zooms in as a narrator begins:
The Film Daily called the short "good", saying, "There is no story to this Merrie Melodies but the comments of the animals as the audience is taken around the farm are highly amusing."[4]
