While their mother hen is away, a group of young chicks must defend themselves from a weasel that is planning to have them for dinner. They fight back using military techniques. The weasel leaves but laughs and gets knocked out by one of the chicks.

Emily the chicken, lives in Hickville but dreams of Hollywood. Her chance comes when director J. Megga-Phone happens to drive past and gives her his card. She makes her way to Hollywood, and Megga-Phone's office, where she discovers a whole flock of hens with the same card and a completely uncaring Megga-Phone. She returns home to faithful Clem, and a chick with foolish notions.
