Wile E. Coyote's plans of the day include pole-vaulting, several attempts with a rocket, a safe dangling from a pulley, a firecracker in a frisbee and explosive tennis balls.

** Third attempt: The rocket launches off by itself, leaving behind its owner who then falls down again.
** Fourth attempt: After a mishap involving lighting his tail by mistake, Wile E. jumps up in pain, slamming into a precipice and falling back onto the rocket, where the fire on his tail spreads to the fuse.
