==Summary==
Porky hires on Gregory Grunt to watch over his chicken coop to stop the fox from raiding it. He falls asleep, and the fox fills his bag. But Grunt wakes up and confronts the fox who then talks him into becoming his partner. As the fox is leaving, he locks himself into the incubator room by mistake. Porky hears the noise and comes running.
==Plot==
Through the Cornstalk Employment Agency, Farmer Porky hires slow-witted assistant Gregory Grunt to help him prevent the marauding Fox from getting any more of his chickens at Porky's Chicken Ranch. After being warned by Porky not to fall asleep, the watchman promptly does so; of course, the Fox invades the barn and bags most of the poultry. Gregory wakes up in time to foil the Fox's escape, but the thief talks him into forming a partnership. The Fox convinces him that Porky would approve because he is just trying to help out. The Fox tries to double-cross Gregory by running out on him, but accidentally locks himself into the superheated incubator room instead. Despite Gregory's attempt to rescue his partner by battering the door down with his head, the Fox can't escape. Porky arrives in time to release the Fox, who has been reduced to a shadow of his former self.
