Next, we have Buzzy in "Having a Beastly Time." Buzzy gets a job as a tiger trainer.

That is followed by three one-page Sonny stories. We start with "Fast Service!" Sonny takes another customer's food and gives it to his friend. In "Quick Justice!" Sonny shoots a fly, and in "The Gourmet!" Sonny's boss eats at the competition across the street.
