While Scoopy relaxes in a hammock near a pile of freshly raked leaves, Hatchy mows the lawn. One of the blades of the lawn mower hits a brick, however, and prevents Hatchy from continuing his task. He bends down and tries to remove the brick while the lawnmower is still running, but luckily Scoopy sees this and rescues Hatchy before anything bad happens. Scoopy places Hatchy on the hammock, removes the brick from the lawn mower, and proceeds to mow the lawn herself.
Scoopy eventually comes upon broken glass and syringe needles in the yard, which she unknowingly runs over with the lawn mower. The debris that flies out from under the lawn mower cuts into Hatchy's skull, killing him and knocking his body off of the hammock. Scoopy then walks up, raking a few loose leaves into the nearby pile. She lights her pipe and throws the lit match into the pile of leaves, setting it ablaze. A gust of wind reveals that Hatchy's body lay hidden beneath the pile.
