Rotty walks through the park and proceeds to play with Moldy. However, there is a fire nearby. The two proceed to go towards it, but Fungus runs by, and Moldy smells the moldy smell on him and Moldy flips-out.

Rotty gasps and runs. He soon finds out it is a lose-lose situation. Be killed by Moldy, or get burnt by a fire. Rotty, however, just goes through a small unburnt log-bridge through the fire.

Rotty tries to keep his balance as he walks across the log. However, Moldy goes fast on the log and talently keeps his balance. Rotty sees his only choice is to burn himself. So he sadly falls down towards the fire and burns to death.

Moldy continues his walk, but Fungus has burnt the log and the fire quickly rushes up the log and disintegrates Moldy. Lumpy the firefighter puts out the fire and sees Moldy's left-over ear and Rotty's corpse.
