Plot
The segment begins at a vacant lot near the city with Calamity Coyote (Dubbed "Devius Coyotius", meaning Evil Coyote) is hatching his new plan to capture Little Beeper (Dubbed "Expedious Birdius", meaning, Fast Bird), placing bird seeds under a can of Acme Tar, where a bowling ball will roll over and hit the can, causing the tar to hit Beeper, thus making him, stick to the ground so he couldn't get far. However, when the fuse of the cherry bomb under the bowling ball didn't set the trap off, Calamity was surpised that it didn't work. Meanwhile, having finished the seeds, Beeper runs off. Calamity ran to the trap and wondered why his plan didn't work, when suddenly the bowling ball started to roll and hit the can. Luckily, it missed Calamity, but the ball hit bowling pins ontop of which was a chicken's nest which was also part of the trap. Calamity decides to leave, only to step on a bowling pin, which causes him to lose his balance and fall into the Tar, covering his body from head to toe. The chicken flies over him and its feathers cover his back leaving a stripe. Just as he is cleaning himself up, Fifi (Dubbed "Sexius Skunkius" meaning, Sexy Skunk) shows up and mistakes Calamity for a boy skunk. At the moment he sees her, Calamity panics and tries to escape, but thanks to the tar, he is stuck fast, and Fifi leaps onto him. She begins to show her affection by kissing him. Calamity, who can't stand the smell, escapes Fifi's hold by inhaling his breath, making his chest and stomach swell larger so Fifi wouldn't have a hold on him and runs off as Fifi is seen laying on the now dry tar believing Calamity is playing hard-to-get she breaks the forth-wall saying "Intelligent boys are such a tease".

In the next scene, Calamity is on a building while finishing his Acme Jr. Jet  for his new plan; flying the jet to capture Beeper, who mistakes an "X" he set up for a Hopscotch line. Just then, Fifi is seen searching for her dream boy where she sees Calamity and mistakenly thinks he is about to fly into her heart, only to miss. Just as Calamity is about to capture Beeper, Fifi uses a remote control to re-route the jet to bring Calamity to her instead, but Calamity grabs the remote and flies back only to accidently smash into a brick wall.

In his last attempt, Calamity buys and builds an Acme Zap Trap, which is a robot version of a female Road-Runner, but with the press of a button, turns it into a cage. When he sees Beeper, he changes the cage back into a robot female roadrunner, However, Beeper isn't fooled and uses the same remote to turn the robot from a female road-runner into a female coyote, causing Calamity to fall for the trap and get trapped inside the cage. Suddenly, Calamity turns around to see that Fifi is also in the cage and she begins to kiss him a lot. (How she got in the cage is a mystery.) As she was kissing him, Calamity came up with a Idea, he would use a file to file his way out. While doing that, Beeper appeared in the cage and blow raseberry at Calamity and left the cage. As Fifi wraps him up with her tail and looks into his eyes upside down, she asks him the big question, "Will you be my boyfriend?". As he was told that, Calamity eyes began turning green, Meaning he couldn't stand the strench much longer and about to to black out. Luckily, her smell melts the cage and he is able to squeeze out of her tail and escape from her again.

Later, Calamity is seen with boxes of Tar remover, which wipe the tar off of his body, cleaning him once and for all. He sigh's in relief when Suddenly, Fifi appears again, frightening Calamity, only for him to realize that she doesn't know that him and her dream skunk are the same guy. When she asks him the whereabouts of the delectable boy skunk, Calamity shakes his head, "No", making Fifi sad. As she walks away sobbing he feels sorry for her, Beeper sneaks up behind Calamity and surpises by honking like a truck horn. Beeper laughs at Calamity while running backwards, not looking where he was going, causing him to run into the parking meter and fall onto the pit of tar and feathers. Seeing what happened, Calamity uses this to his advantage. He whistles out to Fifi, who sees Beeper as another boy skunk and begins chasing him instead. As Little Beeper dashes off into the distance with Fifi hopping after him The episode ends with Calamity jumping around and clicking his heels happily to see him come out on top for once and gaining some long overdue revenge.
