Summary

The cartoon centers around an adolescent version of Screwy Squirrel, who skips school to go fishing, which causes truant officer Meathead Dog (here seen with a different color palette but otherwise the same) to go around attempting to arrest Screwy, with various failures. At the end, Meathead finally catches Screwy and demands to know why he isn't in school; Screwy responds that he wasn't in school because he has measles, much to the horror of Meathead, who has now contracted measles from him as a result.

Cameo

Red and "Wolfie" (from Swing Shift Cinderella) make a cameo appearance. In the middle of the cartoon, the two interrupt one of Screwy's antics with the wolf chasing Red across the screen, only for Screwy to interrupt by showing the title of the cartoon, saying he is in the wrong cartoon. Swing Shift Cinderella wasn't released for another seven months, so it can be inferred that the script was being written at the time, and Tex wanted to give a short teaser for it.
