 The cartoon begins with squirrels stockpiling for the forthcoming cold months as hard times will be ahead, as they sing "Now that Summer is Gone".However, a young, flashy-dressed squirrel decides to get nuts through a dice game without making the effort to hunt them.Disregarding his father's advice not to gamble, the young squirrel pays no attention and still insists on the "easy way" on getting his nuts for winter.
