When their vegetables are "stolen," the Goofy Gophers surface to investigate. They spy a truck carrying the produce away so they follow it to the barn. When the farmer leaves, they enter, but they run back out when they see Barnyard Dawg napping just inside. They deduce they must get rid of the dog and begin making plans
They lower a large metal lid over the dog, spread some banana peels on the floor, then strike the lid with a mallet. The lid and Dawg vibrate violently, and Dawg slips on the banana peels out the door of the barn and into the pig's watering trough.
Dawg cautiously returns, but sees no danger and settles down to nap again. The gophers tie one end of a rope to his tail and the other end to a hay bale which, when dropped from the loft, pulls Dawg out the door and lands him in the well. As Dawg climbs out, the pig is watching him again.
Dawg reads in The Significance of Dreams by Sigmund Fraud that nightmares never really happened. He laughs off his experiences and goes back to sleep. The gophers saw a circle of floor around him, carry him outside, and float him in the duck pond, where a duck startles him awake.
He runs back to the barn and swallows a bunch of sleeping pills and falls sound asleep. The gophers tighten a girdle around him and attach it to a large helium balloon. As Dawg floats away, they begin to recover their vegetables.
Meanwhile, Dawg lands on top of a telephone pole, seated, with the pig watching from below. When a bird flies by, he has a nervous breakdown and he flies after it. Later, at the psychiatrist's office, Dr. Cy Kosis is counseling his patient... the pig! When Dawg flies past the window, still wearing the girdle, the doctor joins his patient on the couch.
