Plot
[edit]Miss Prissy is as usual late for Foghorn Leghorn's egg expectation. Leghorn is disappointed in Miss Prissy for being late and not laying a normal round white egg. Leghorn warns Prissy only one last chance that if she doesn't lay a normal egg, she will be sent to the old hens farm. Foghorn Leghorn decides that Miss Prissy lays the turquoise Easter eggs. He also tells her to think "egg-shape".
Prissy tries but she lays a golden egg instead. She rolls away the golden egg and soon Sylvester and Daffy find it. The two both try to get it for themselves including the ancient Chinese tickle torture; Daffy whispers to Sylvester to get the egg for one last chance but at the end, they accidentally put the disguised golden egg on the fresh egg farms with Miss Prissy. However, they watch as an egg truck takes away the eggs. In the end, Daffy and Sylvester end up breaking all the eggs over an enormous skillet, with Sylvester warning Daffy if they don't find the egg, Daffy will end up eating the biggest omelette in history.
This episode was Foghorn's Leghorn's first appearance since the Bugs Bunny cartoon False Hare (1964), sixteen years earlier. This cartoon currently airs on the Boomerang channel.
