Synopsis
Mercy Watson, the buttered-toast-loving pig, awakens to a commotion in the kitchen. Leroy Ninker, a would-be cowboy turned thief, is attempting to steal the Watsons' toaster. Unbeknownst to him, Mercy's love for toast leads her to investigate, resulting in a hilarious chase that involves nosy neighbours, astonished firemen, and a puzzled policeman. This delightful adventure showcases Mercy's single-mindedness and the chaos that ensues when a pig's passion for buttered toast collides with a thief's misguided dreams.
