Farmer Brown leaves his brother, Bob, in charge of his farm while he goes to Hawaii for a vacation. Farmer Brown tells Bob to follow instructions and that everything should be fine. However, Duck gets a hold of a pencil Farmer Brown throws on the ground. Bob later finds reads the first note that says, "Tuesday night is Pizza night. (Not the frozen kind!). The hens prefer anchovies." The next day, another note has Bob wash the pigs. Farmer Brown calls Bob and suggests him to keep Duck inside the house. The following night, the animals sneak inside the living room to watch "the Sound of MOOSIC" for movie night, but Farmer Brown finds out about this when he calls and immediately comes back early from his vacation.
