Plot[]

Oswald and Pete are sitting on a bench in a park. Momentarily, Kitty walks along and sings the song A Bench in the Park. When she drops a handkerchief, Oswald and Pete rush to pick it up. Upon picking, they pulled the handkerchief until it is rip apart. When Kitty passes by again, Oswald snags part of Pete's clothing onto a nail on the bench. Pete rushes again and ends up wearing just his undergarments. Oswald then approaches Kitty as the other guy runs away in embarrassment. But before he could spend a long time with her, Pete returns in a wine barrel before kicking Oswald in the rear. The kick is so strong that Oswald is sent into space.

Following a long trip after being booted, Oswald finds himself landing on planet Mars. He encounters a lot of bizarre animals before meeting their king. When the Martian king asks for his identity, Oswald introduces himself by singing his theme song. The king likes his song, and so do the bizarre animals. After everybody parties around for several moments, a giant spider-like creature comes to the scene. All the other animals run away, including Oswald. Oswald continues to run until he reaches an edge. Without any other place to go, the rabbit is forced to jump. Oswald falls and finds himself moving in space again. On the way, he finds a meteoroid which he rides on.

Back on Earth, Pete and Kitty are about to get married as they go to the church. Kitty, however, does not seem to enjoy her newfound relationship. Suddenly, Oswald's meteoroid drops by, striking and knocking Pete unconscious, later knocked Oswald for a second. Kitty appears to be overjoyed by the sight as Pete got knocked out, laying down on the sidewalk, and Kitty and Oswald walks towards Pete's stomach and gives Oswald a kiss. Later, Kitty goes on to date Oswald.
