Plot
Rush wakes up one morning at the sound of his alarm clock. He realizes he is late for work and hurriedly runs to the bus stop, but the bus leaves without him. He chases after the bus but tires himself out at the city dump.

Scrap is seen putting together pieces of junk, consisting of two fire extinguishers and a barbecue tank, to create a jet pack. He asks Rush if he wants to test it out. Rush agrees thinking it will help him get to work. Upon wearing the jet pack, Rush activates it and is quickly sent into the air.

Watching from the ground, Scrap gives a proud smile. Suddenly, Rush smells something burning and discovers his tail is aflame. His panicking sends the jet pack out of control. He smashes through Scrap's glass bowl house, shattering it to pieces, much to the shark's dismay.

Rush tries to blow out his tail as Scrap follows him into town. The fumes from the jet pack manage to burn Rotisserie to death. Scrap stops to be tempted by the smell of roasted chicken. Rush turns around and bumps into Scrap, knocking the water-filled device off his head. A car runs over Scrap's device and puts him in danger of asphyxiation.

Showers and Tarsy stand by their firetruck, when Scrap comes to them begging for water. Showers sprays the shark and saves his life. Rush crashes into a house, where the jet pack breaks apart. The resident, Random, watches as Rush tries to put out his burning tail, so she "helps" by splashing oil on it, spreading flames to her whole home.

With Showers occupied with Scrap, Tarsy looks around for something he could use to stop the fire. He finds one of the extinguishers from Rush's jet pack. Tarsy activates the extinguisher and gets launched through the air, burning Scrap and Showers. Tarsy crashes into a water tower, which in turn, falls over and floods the house.

Later, a heavily-burnt Rush reaches his workplace to find his boss Tycoon waiting. He tells Rush he's fired, leading the burnt fox to laugh hysterically before fainting.
