 A spider tries a number of tricks to catch a fly. A sugar cube on a string fails when the fly cuts the string. The fly does a trapeze act to taunt the spider, but the spider acts as the fly s catcher; the fly gives him a hotfoot. Buckshot dipped in candy coating fails when the spider s magnet also attracts a cupboard full of dangerous cutlery. The spider spots the fly disguised as the bride atop a wedding cake, and disguises himself as the groom. They chase through an electrical conduit, lighting a neon sign, until an air-raid warden shouts "Put out that light!" They return through the conduit, and the spider catches the fly. He s about to carve up the fly when the fly points to the calendar, declaring September 27 to be "meatless Tuesday."
