Oh, boy.....what stamina! Only a married man could take it like that!"
So says little sarcastic Herman the mouse as he watches Abner get the crap beat out of him by his brutish, violent wife, who is twice his size and four times as mean. This hen is nobody to fool with, as the chicken (literally) husband has found out. However, when the big hen spots Herman on the window sill, she screams and runs away. Women - even thugs like this one - are terrified of mice.
Herman, who had witnessed this latest act of spousal abuse, tries to give pathetic "Abner" a pep talk about standing up for himself. He figures a good way to start training Abner will be a local boxing match advertising big bucks if someone could beat the champ. Abner, who can't beat his wife, is terrified at the thought of this beast pummeling him in the ring.
His fears are soon realized and the match is pretty one-sided. Poor Abner takes one of the worst beatings I've seen other Tom the cat in Tom & Jerry. But, unknown to Abner, he has an ally in Herman and, before you know it, this "chicken" is champ!! More funny things happen afterward at the celebration party until "the old battle-ax" shows up! Man, this turns out to be a brutally violent cartoon with everyone but the mouse getting pulverized. Not bad, though: pretty entertaining.
