Plot

The Coyote as Batman in Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z'.

The Coyote (Eatius Birdius) engages in several chase sequences with the Road Runner (Delicius Delicius). Hiding in a manhole, he pops out and fires a rifle at the bird. In another attempt, Wile E. leaps out into the road with "1 sheet ACME Triple Strength BATTLESHIP STEEL ARMOR PLATE" in front of him; even this cannot stop the Road Runner from barreling through it. In a third sequence, while the Road Runner is feasting, the Coyote puts a lighted stick of dynamite on the end of a fishing line and casts it out.

Wile E. then puts on an ACME Batman Outfit and dives off a cliff, attempting to fly. After that debacle, he perches himself upon a high branch with an anvil attached to the end of an ACME Rubber Band. He also tries attaching a stick of dynamite to a telescoping device, paints a landscape on a stone wall, mines a bridge with explosives, and crafts a makeshift jet bike. In the end, he helds a sign saying, "How about ending this cartoon before I hit."
