The enraged dog starts body-slamming Foghorn and finally calls him a "good-for-nothing chicken". He fails and, when the smoke clears, amidst the rubble, the rooster is holding what remains of the dynamite. Knowing he will be blamed, Foghorn dives into the house in an attempt to stop the explosion. Henery utters, "Shnook!", and goes off to throw a lit stick of dynamite into Barnyard Dawg's house. The dog is waiting there with a watermelon which the rooster plows his head into, then mutters, "Some days it don't pay to get outta bed!" as the dog leaves.Īs a last resort, Foghorn shows Henery a photo of a roasted chicken and demonstrates how he himself would look on a platter. Upon noticing the dog, Foghorn screams, makes a run for it, and climbs a ladder to the top floor of the barn. Foghorn emphasizes his points by regularly hitting what he thinks is the trunk he misses the fact that it has opened and he has been, in fact, hitting Barnyard Dawg, who was inside it. After turning to the viewers to remark, "Nice kid, but a little dumb!", the rooster proceeds to explain to Henery that he still has not captured a chicken. As Foghorn stalks across the yard, kicking the signs away and muttering to himself about how he has to straighten Henery out, the hawk comes by pushing a huge trunk.
This does not work Henery walks off, leaving two signs reading "Shnook!", and "Loud Mouth'd That Is!" respectively. In an effort to convince Henery he is a chicken ("rooster, that is"), Foghorn pulls out a cardboard cutout of the sun and crows. His position is not helped, though, when Barnyard Dawg wakes up, kicks the rooster, and calls him a shnook. Foghorn then prattles on about his identity and tells the hawk that what he thinks is a chicken is actually a dog (all while slapping Barnyard Dawg around). Rooster, that is." Henery does not buy this and when Foghorn asks him, "What am I then, boy?" Henery responds that he is "a loud-mouthed shnook". Foghorn interrupts this, asking, "What's the gimmick? What's it all about?" When Henery replies that he has just caught himself a chicken, Foghorn guffaws, saying, "That's no chicken, son.
He takes a hammer, hits the sleeping dog over the head, and proceeds to haul his prize across the barnyard. Finally, the chicken hawk walks away and comes upon Barnyard Dawg's house, which, due to his father's false stories about chickens, he assumes is a "chicken's cave". On his way to find a chicken, Henery is intercepted by Foghorn and his insufferable wordplay. A yellow stripe down his back is quite apparent as a sign of cowardice as he walks away. Having arrived on the scene, Henery asks, "Hey, was that a chicken, Pop?" His father summons some false bravado and claims he would never allow a chicken to treat him that way, that Foghorn is nothing but a "loud-mouthed shnook". (Two years later, in A Fractured Leghorn, Foghorn uses this technique several times against a cat when the two are after the same worm). Foghorn does not allow the bird to get a word in edgewise, however with his stomach, the rooster bumps Henery's father across the barnyard and kicks him out. Foghorn approaches, demanding he "unhand those fair barnyard flowers", and insists on an explanation from the chicken hawk. Henery's father invades a coop and struts out with a couple of traumatized chickens. I'm a chicken hawk and I've never even seen a chicken." He determines to get his first one that day. After his father leaves, Henery remarks, "A fine thing. He says that Henery is too small, and goes on to reinforce the tall tales he has told about what a chicken looks like and how formidable they are. Henery Hawk's father will not allow him to go along to raid a chicken coop and capture chickens.
