The setting: two South Sea islands. On one: a hungry, shipwrecked Aardvark. On the other: an army of (food) Ants. The Aardvark knows that this is true because he sees the Ants in his spyglass. All that you have to do is swim right over there... except that there's a mean old shark who won't let...
Whilst hiding out in a house after escaping from being chased by the Aardvark, the Ant discovers a bottle of "Vitamins for Strength"; and after eating a couple of them, becomes ten times stronger than he used to be- much to the Aardvark's displeasure!
A stagecoach owner is going out of business if the train (rode by Roland) makes it to the other side, so they hire Rattfink to stop the train, but doesn't work.
After being run over by a truck, both the ant and the aardvark wind up in the hospital with broken legs. However that, along with sharing the room with an aggressive bulldog, doesn't stop the aardvark from continuing to pursue the ant as his dinner. NOTE: Last "Ant and the Aardvark" cartoon.
