The short begins with the camera moving to the left side to Linus, Lucy, Schroeder, and Snoopy, who are kneeling to the Great Pumpkin who smokes a cigarette in front of the cast, as he puts a bounty on Charlie Brown's head on a wall, dead or alive, and thus prompting the entire "Peanuts" cast to try to kill him. The first clip demonstrates Charlie Brown backing up while Lucy sets up for Charlie. He tells her that she is ready, but she gives him a moment as she strikes a match as she tries to get Charlie Brown to kick a bomb disguised as a football. When she lights the bomb up and calls him a blockhead, Charlie immediately rushes off to the football but when he kicks it, it explodes, and goes to the title card. Schroeder then appears acting like normal without his tiny-piano in his hands. Then Charlie came to him and asked Schroeder a question about his piano, but ends up that he dumps his (full-sized, not toy) piano on Charlie Brown's head while Schroeder continues making piano playing motions. Snoopy then prepares to fly like the flying ace from the Great Pumpkin special from 1966, but ends up getting shot by machine guns. Charlie then holds a York Peppermint Pattie (not the character as it was mentioned, as the character does not appear in the short film), and Snoopy bites off his hand (which gushes blood). Then it goes to the Kite-Eating Tree who falls on him to the left, and goes into the famous bricks area where Linus begins talking to Charlie, but Linus ends up strangling him to unconciousness with his blanket after Charlie recognizes that everyone is after him.
