Spoilers ahead

Sylvester is in Yellowstone National Park, and, hearing birds chirping, climbs up the tree toward Tweety’s nest, despite warnings from the park staff. Tweety hasn’t hatched yet, so Sylvester must wait him out. When Tweety finally hatches, he pokes the cat in the rear with a pin needle to drive him away, triggering a fast-paced chase. Tweety hides in a hole in the tree; the cat forces him out with an air pump, but Tweety counters by launching a stick of dynamite upward. The chase moves to another tree as Tweety begins sawing the branch Sylvester is perched on.
