Synopsis
The farm of young Porky Pig and his father is endangered by lack of rain. Porky is sent to town with their last dollar to buy some food for the animals, but instead is conned by a traveling salesman into buying a box of weather pills. Returning home, Porky's father is angry with his son and throws the pills into the barnyard. There, they are eaten by the animals, turning them into lightning, fog, thunder, a cyclone and an earthquake. The goose grabs the rain pill just ahead of Porky, and sheets of rain fall on the thirsty crops.
