[edit] Plot synopsis

Speedy Gonzales, the fastest mouse in all of Mexico, races against the Road Runner, the fastest bird in all of Texas. During the race, Sylvester and Wile E. Coyote combine forces in an attempt to catch their speedy nemeses, with predictable results. Often they mistakenly end up injuring each other in comical fashion. Finally they use a rocket car to chase Speedy Gonzales and Road Runner, but they drive past them and are in finish first, then they fly to the air and rocket car blasts.
