A pie is thrown in the face of a Warner Brothers cartoon dog, thus wrapping the filming of another Looney Tunes short. But the dog, an aspiring Shakespearian actor, is disgusted with his lot and vows to study the works of the Bard at his country house. But his yard is overrun with gopher holes, and when he begins rehearsing Hamlet he discovers The Goofy Gophers have taken up residence in his copy of the play (instead of To Be Or Not To Be it is Two Gophers). He throws them out, so they calmly begin wreaking havoc on the actor's study and rehearsal of Shakespeare. Their blows all time perfectly with Shakespearian dialogue - tormenting flames means a hot foot; drinking to the joy of life means he swallows 1,000 gallons of water (which is good cartoon style spill out his ears); "that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet," except when its smeared in limburger; donning armor gets the actor tossed about his house via powerful magnets. Finally "my kingdom for a horse" means he gets a swift kick back to the studio.
What is the yard overrun with?
Gopher holes
