Chip and Dale engage each other in a gift warfare, causing each other to get annoyed by the cycle, but their gifts suddenly come in handy when two cats try to eat them. Chip and Dale adopt a baby beetle for a pet, but it turns out to be more trouble than it's worth when they discover it's an ugly adult dung beetle that carries a mysterious scent that makes it look like a baby beetle to them. Chip finds a spider egg on their doorstep and tries to find out whom it belongs to while going to a concert with Dale, who desperately doesn't want to be late.
