The twenty-eighth episode of the first season of Tiny Toon Adventures.
The Tiny Toons present three sports cartoons.
Short One: "Tennis The Menace"
Montana Max hosts the Wimpydumb Tennis tournament, where the only players he invites are those who have never held a tennis racket. After defeating Furrball, Bookworm, and Hamton, a frustrated Buster goes up against Monty, disguised as the famous Swedish tennis player, Bjorn Bunny.
Short Two: "Bleacher Bummer"
Dizzy Devil and Furrball try to sneak into the ACME stadium so they can see the big baseball game between Acme Looniversity and Perfecto Prep. Arnold, who is working as a security guard, tries to stop them. Meanwhile, Perfecto Prep clobbers Acme Looniversity in the baseball game, through the old magnet-in-the-bat scam. Will Acme Looniversity win the game?
Short Three: "Miniature Goof"
Buster and Babs try to play a game of miniature golf on a course owned by Roderick and Rhubella Rat. After being treated unfairly by the rats, Buster and Babs, disguised as Biff and Buffy Vanderbunny, challenge them to a game of mini-golf to claim ownership of the course.
