Katsy is a smoking addict. A commercial on television offers him a cure. He sends away for it at once. He finds that he must eat crow meat to kick the habit. ("If the smoking habit/you must beat/then eat a salad/with fresh crow meat," he reads.) Buzzy the Crow just happens to land in Katsy's window asking for a light of his cigar. Katsy grabs Buzzy and attempts to make him into a crow salad, but instead, Buzzy decides to help him stop smoking. He first gives Katsy his cigar and Katsy puffs on it. Next Buzzy takes a TNT which explodes making Katsy's head blackened. Katsy is about to give up saying he's still got the habit. Buzzy's next remedy is "will power." in which Katsy refuses the offer of a cigar smoke arm luring him. However he is resistant which gives Buzzy a chance to throw a 500 pound weight at him crushing the cat. Buzzy goes off singing "My Heart is a Hobo", but Katsy ticked off, states that crow salad's the only cure and attempts to eat him. However, Buzzy shoots through Katsy's teeth and escapes him before sending the cat into outerspace. Cigarette jokes range from chain smoking to Tobacco Road.
