Two scheming alley cats rig a raffle and accidentally unleash chaos on wheels.
Two hungry alley cats hatch a plan to score a meal by running “the old raffle game.” They offer a turkey as the prize and convince Doc to pick a ticket, not knowing there is only one, which of course makes him the winner. The cats send Doc to a nearby house to claim the prize, but the turkey is locked in a refrigerator guarded by a tough watchdog named Cecil. Doc makes several failed attempts to outsmart the dog, while Hickory and Dickory only make things worse. Doc finally manages to grab the turkey by putting roller skates on Cecil, but the dog crashes through the door and ruins the cats’ long-awaited feast.
