With a bucket of tar and a mop, the Coyote lies in wait for his prey on the road. When that fails, he test runs a wide mirror at the edge of another cliff, with interesting effects. Ultimately, having moved to the wrong side of the mirror, Wile E. falls into a bathtub lying among the contents of a dump and gets an {{idea|bulb}} that's sure to catch the Road Runner: build a giant coyote robot. Or so he thinks.

** First, he gets stepped on by it when he fails to make it obey the '''STOP/HALT''' command, resulting in the AccordionMan trope listed above.
** And second, he gives the robot the '''STRIKE''' command in an attempt to kill his target, but unfortunately, the robot uses the hand Wile E. is standing on to do so (interestingly enough, Wile E. doesn't fall off the hand when it turns upside-down), resulting in the poor Coyote ending up like this again.

* DerangedAnimation: Happens from time to time, as per standard of the Rudy Larriva Road Runner cartoons.


Added DiffLines:

* StockSoundEffects: While there are a few Creator/WarnerBros sound effects utilized (largely the Road Runner's zooming), the rest of the sound effects are the same ones typically heard on Creator/JayWard's works such as ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'', making the soundtrack even more different from a typical Road Runner cartoon (alongside the repetitive canned Bill Lava music cues.) This is due to being one of the three Rudy Larriva Road Runner shorts where the sound editing was done right at Format Films (by ''Bullwinkle'' sound designer Joe Siracusa, whom also made heavy use of the sound effects on ''WesternAnimation/TheAlvinShow'' five years earlier) instead of having post-production sound done at Creator/DepatieFrelengEnterprises (like the other eight Rudy Larriva Road Runner shorts.)
