The General is frustrated that the Pentagon ignores Camp Swampy, so they mount their own space program, building a giant rocket and launch pad. Beetle is scheduled to be the astronaut, but a foul up sends Sergeant Snorkel accidentally instead. Later, a kiss from Bunny sends Beetle into lunar orbit without a rocket.
Bunny breaks her date with Beetle so she can go out with a dashing playboy in his Italian sports car. Cosmo advises Beetle to follow them to a masquerade ball. In a hastily thrown together costume, he puts a mounted stag's head on and an impromptu bull fight ensues on the dance floor.
What starts as a pleasant Sunday drive for Beetle, Otto, Bunny, and Bunny's father turns into chaos involving littering, a speeding ticket, and an unexpected --and interrupted-- marriage ceremony for Beetle and Bunny by a rural judge.
When Beetle and his friends read a fortune cookie message saying to beware of beetles because they bring bad luck, his friends immediately jump to the conclusion that Beetle himself will be a jinx to them.
