Percy Pigg just wants a quiet evening at home, but when he calls his pals Dizzy Duck, Snoozer, and Billy Bull hoping for company, they're all busy—so naturally, they all show up anyway, bringing their lodge brothers, visiting relatives, and the football team in tow. What starts as a simple request for a checkers partner spirals into absolute chaos, forcing Percy to seek refuge anywhere he can find it.

Billy Bull's enthusiasm for wrestling and exercise drives his father, Adolph Bull, to distraction—especially when Adolph's desperately trying to think of how to raise the last two hundred dollars needed to repair the town's swimming pool. When Billy heads outside to practice his long-distance running, he's kidnapped by criminals who plan to ransom him back to his father, but Billy's energetic antics and rough-and-tumble games prove far more than the crooks bargained for. By the time the exasperated kidnappers return him home, they're so grateful to be rid of him that they hand over the exact money Adolph needs.

Peter Pigly builds a birdhouse following instructions, but his Uncle Pigly insists he knows better and constructs his own with a much larger door—only to discover woodpeckers have moved in and are causing trouble. When Uncle Pigly peeks inside to meet his new tenants, he learns the hard way that bigger isn't always better when it comes to keeping unwanted guests out.
