There's a drive for scrap rubber on, so a donkey puts out a few items. Embarrassed by the generosity of his neighbors, he discovers am old inner tube buried in his back yard. He tries to dig it up and add it to the heap, but the inner tube has other ideas.
George Gordon was one of the first hires Fred Quimby made when he took over MGM's cartoon department, but it wasn't until 1937 that he directed his first cartoon there, an expert and funny effort. Gordon was expert in the "funny animal" style of cartooning -- he had worked for Paul Terry from 1930 through 1937 -- but what he really excelled at was making things that didn't move, move, and making them look malign and funny. That's what the old inner tube does here.
