Synopsis

Oggy makes some French fries from a French cookbook, turns on the TV, and starts eating them. The cockroach gang steals the table with the fries. Oggy stops them, but Joey shoves a big bottle of hot sauce into Oggy's mouth and gives it a big squirt.

Oggy attacks the cockroaches with a fly swatter, but slips on some oil, slides all over the house, get thrown from the house onto the electric lines outside and gets electrocuted.

Oggy chases after Marty, only to realize he's on the ceiling. He falls into the potato slicer.

Dee Dee has the bowl of fries and Oggy chases after him with a vacuum cleaner, vacuuming the fries as they run. The vacuum develops a clog and the fries start exiting out the pipe. Marty catches the fries onto a plate, but then Oggy starts eating them as they come out of the pipe. Joey throws an anvil in Oggy's path, it goes through the vacuum pipe, and Oggy ends up swallowing it.

Dee Dee, with the bowl of fries, is being chases by Oggy. As Dee Dee approaches Joey, he swings a spoon and sends Dee Dee and the bowl flying throughout the house. The cabinet with all the dishes in it is knocked over, but Oggy manages to catch them. Oggy is balancing all the dishes in his arms when Joey almost trips him on a skateboard. It looks like Oggy recovers, but then all the dishes crack apart.

The cockroach gang escapes outside on the skateboard. Oggy sees one last fry on the floor. Just as he is about to eat the fry, the cockroaches on the skateboard accidentally make a French fry truck swerve into Oggy's house, filling it with fries.
