The short features Jasper, his friend/nemesis Professor Scarecrow, and Blackbird.[4] The short opens with a brief view of the hovel where Jasper lives with his mother, then the camera moves to the chicken coop. Jasper's mother counts her chickens and realizes there is another one missing. She has realized that she is facing a chicken thief. Nearby, said thief, the Scarecrow, is seen finishing his meal. Next Jasper's mother prepares to leave her residence. She first arms Jasper and tasks him with guarding the chickens. Jasper fancies himself a soldier, and starts marching within his residence. When the Scarecrow appears at his window, Jasper immediately points the weapon at him. The Scarecrow is at first terrified. Then explains to Jasper that he should not be pointing the weapon at live targets, since it is likely to go off. Convincing the boy to hand him the gun, the Scarecrow claims that the "mean-looking" weapon reminds him of his past as a big game hunter...
