- Quotes
Foghorn Leghorn: [Sees Henery trying to tie down a pumpkin on a catapult] Now what's that boy up to? Better check on him. Say whatcha doin' there... No, no, you'll never get it done that way, you're not strong enough. You gotta have the know-how.
[Ties pumpkin down]
Foghorn Leghorn: There, your pumpkin's tied down pretty.
Henery Hawk: Got a match, mister?
Foghorn Leghorn: Match?
[Gives him a match]
Foghorn Leghorn: Here you are, boy. Now don't set the world on fire.
[Henery uses match to light candle under the rope holding down the pumpkin]
Foghorn Leghorn: These kids growing up nowadays, don't even know how to tie down their own pumpkins. Why, when I was a boy... Say, I never tied down no pumpkins. Hey, son! Whatcha tying down a pumpkin for?
[the candle burns through the rope, releasing the pumpkin and launching it onto Foghorn's head]
Foghorn Leghorn: Ask a silly question, get a silly answer.

Music by Jule Styne
In their fifth feature together, Chickenhawk Henery still can't tell a chicken from a dog (or a pheasant for that matter). He does however know the lyrics to `A hunting we will go' and joins Foghorn for a duet. Foghorn has also broadened his range from the usual "Camptown Races" to give us his rendition of `Old Macdonald'. Between all this merry farmyard singing, there is some serious mutilation going on.
Foghorn's schemes normally involve a certain dispensation of disbelief, like telling the little hawk that Barnyard Dog is a pheasant, or selling him some vanishing cream. The Dog on the other hand likes to use elaborate traps to get his own back at Foghorn. When he instructs Henery to built his latest rooster trap, Foggy not only falls for it, but helps set it up! How typical. When both parties have exhausted their bag of tricks, rooster and dog get into an old fashioned fist fight. However, the winner remains undecided.
