Originally there was to be a scene where Spike chases the rooster into a barn where he hides in a hole, as Spike reaches for him he ends up grabbing a horse's tail who then kicks him.
Lots of signature Avery sight gags in this cartoon. As ever, attention to background detail was a hallmark of this era. And as in rival WB Foghorn Leghorn and Barnyard Dawg pairings, the rooster gets his just desserts in the end.
The rooster crowed 38 times, all of them deeply bothered sleepy Spike. As the rooster yawned & went to try to sleep. Spike then quickly crowed 6 times, for revenge as the rooster tried going to sleep. 44 "cock-a-doodle-doos", total.
