A circular chain reaction of bad temper and general botheration disrupts Barton's primary colored comic style farm when a bee stings a bull "so hard that the bull jumped and ran around, making the cow so nervous that she kicked the farmer's wife." The wife then yells at the farmer, who hits the mule. . . and so the sequence continues through goat, dog and cat until a bird (fleeing the cat) dives at the original bee and sends him buzzing into the identical picture of a grazing bull that we came in on. There's a lesson perhaps for those who seek one, but mainly this pop style runaround is just a quick haw haw.
