Episode Segments
- The Learning Principal - As Yosemite Sam is teaching his class, Buster reveals to the viewers his private stock of novelty gags. He constantly disrupts Sam's class, and Sam threatens to send the culprit to the principal's office. Buster replaces his apple with a pineapple, and when he returns to his desk, Sam is there, as he found out Buster is the culprit. He sends Buster to the Principal's office, and Buster reluclantly obeys him.
Plucky is outside, as he has overheard. Buster tells him he was sent to the principal's office, much to Plucky's horror. Plucky assures Buster that he's here for him in the little time he has left. He asks Buster if he can have his stereo, but Buster refuses to give it to him.
As Buster goes up the stairs on his way to the principal's office, Babs is dressed in a mourning gown, crying, as she has heard what has happened. Buster tells Babs that he is willing to take the falll this time. She asks him if she can have his stereo, and Buster tells her she is out of his will.
Hamton appears in one of the lockers, dressed as a priest, telling Buster about his naughty actions. He tells him that as a hero to the other students, he has a reputation to live up to, and that none of them will respect him if he has such high spirits on his way to the principal's. Buster tells him that he's not ready to cower. As he approaches the principal's office, The Great and Powerful Principal of Looniversity talks o him about what he did in Yosemite Sam's class. The Principal thinks up an appropriate punishment for him, including confiscating his stereo. Buster discovers the Great and Powerful Principal is a machine controlled by Bugs Bunny. He asks him why the machine was used, and Bugs tells him, "It worked for The Wizard of Oz.". He also tells him that sometimes students need motivation to help them pass their classes. He tells Buster that he isn't working hard enough and needs to improve his performance. He whispers to him on what he can do.
When Buster returns, Sam asks if the principal reformed him. Buster tells him, "I reckon he did!" and continues to prank him. Bugs asks sam, "Looks like the kid's improvin' eh, Doc?", and Sam gives Buster an A in Class Clowning 101. Buster thanks Sam by handing him an exploding apple, and Sam says, "I hate class clown rabbits.".
- Eating Between the Lines - It's lunchtime, and while the library is out to lunch, Bookworm has it all to himself, or so he thinks. Sweetie Bird, knowing that Bookworm goes there for lunch, has been spying on him. She wants to eat him, and she chases him all over the library. He knocks her out with a book called The Mike Tyson Story.
Later, as she looks for him, she looks in The Jungle Book, and gets chased by the animals from the book. She decides to hide in the cave from Goldilocks and the Three Bears, only to get kicked out by one of the bears.
Meanwhile, Bookworm is trying to hide from her, so he disguises himself as a teddy bear so he can hide in Sleeping Beauty. Sweetie is ready to knock him out with a hammer, but she can't find him, so he grabs her hammer and whacks her instead. She eventually catches him, but the rocket from Right Stuff chases her all over the library. The rocket hits her with a fly swatter, and she and Bookworm begin to fall. The catcher from Catcher in the Rye catches Bookworm, but Sweetie lands in The Onion Field and begins to cry. She never caught Bookworm, who catches up to her. She uses an onion to make him cry, to distract him so she can eat him. Just as she is about to eat him, the bell rings and lunch period is over. The students go into the library, and Bookworm frees himself, hiding in Worm Lore. Sweetie says, "When will I learn to stop playing with my food?" and repeatedly bangs her head against a bookshelf. A book that says That's All Folks! lands on her, and she says, "Oh, well. I can always curl up in a good book.".
- What's Up, Nurse? - It's time for Foghorn Leghorn to assign his students to take a pop quiz about hound teasing tricks. Plucky doesn't know any hound teasing tricks, as he has forgotten to study. Babs tells him that Foghorn told them to study yesterday, when Plucky was seeing how long he could balance a pencil on his beak. Plucky fakes being sick to get out of the pop quiz, including sneezing his beak off. Foghorn sends him to the Nurse's office to prevent him from infecting the other students.
At the waiting room, Calamity Coyote, Montana Max, Furrball, Sweetie, and Barky Marky are all waiting. Plucky asks them, "You guys had a pop quiz, too?", and they all nod yes. Granny asks which of them is in the most pain, and Plucky tells her he is, once again, faking sneezing his beak off. Granny sends her student nurse, Elmyra Duff, to take care of him.
Elmyra takes Plucky to his room and attempts to take his temperature. Plucky refuses, but she is persistent. She decides to check his reflexes instead, and whacks him with a hammer. He lands next to a nightstand and holds the flowers from the vase. He tells Elmyra he's dying, and she rushes off to try to revive him. She uses a defribrillator and is relieved to find him alive. He runs off, and she borrows an X-ray from the X-ray room to find him. She finds him in the Cat Scan room, dressed as a doctor, and he tells her she is late for her test. He scans her, and finds out she has ducks on the brain. He advises her to stay away from ducks altogether, but she suspects he is Plucky in disguise and tries to yank his beard off. Plucky tells her he is a real doctor and that his beard is real as he attempts to yank it off to prove it. He succeeds in yanking the beard off and she finds out the doctor was Plucky in disguise.
Elmyra takes Plucky to the operating room to operate immediately. Plucky yells to her that he lied and he wants to take the test, but she thinks he is delirious and attempts to operate. Plucky escapes, and she asks the other patients who's next. They run away and join Plucky as well. Just as Plucky makes it back to class, the test is over and the excited students run over him.
Plucky is back in the nurse's office, in a lot of pain. Foghorn tells him it's too bad he missed the test, and sent him a tutor. The tutor is Elmyra, much to Plucky's horror. He runs out of the office as Buster and Babs end the episode.
