Oswald and Pete both try for Kitty's affections. To ensure he gets the girl, Oswald hooks Pete's suspender strap to a park bench. When he bends over to pick up the cloth, he tears his clothes, leaving the rabbit to get the girl--but not before he is kicked into space. He eventually lands on Mars. After introducing himself via song, he interacts with the planet's sights. The rabbit rides back to Earth on a comet and crashes into Pete, interrupting the bear's would-be marriage to Kitty.
