== Plot ==
The various Tiny Toon characters have adventures during the summer after their term at the ACME Looniversity ended.
* Buster and Babs Bunny have a water pistol fight, which leads to ACME Acres being flooded. The two bunnies float down the river and end up in the southern United States fending off against the residents of the river who want to eat them, with a few loose parodies of the movie Deliverance.
* Plucky Duck tags along with Hamton J. Pig and his family as they drive to the amusement park Happy World Land. It is a very long and painful trip and ends in Plucky getting chased by an escaped, Jason-esque lunatic with a chainsaw and a hockey mask.
* Fifi La Fume has her eye on movie star Johnny Pew, and manages to track him down at the hotel he's staying at. They end up going on a date— too bad it's not a dream date.
* Fowlmouth drags Shirley the Loon to see Skunknophobia (presumably a play on the 1990 film Arachnophobia), a movie he's seen a hundred times already - and one he won't shut up through.
* Elmyra Duff has the time of her life at a nature park, as the animals run for their lives.
