-Scratchy goes to Itchy's barber shop for a haircut. Itchy seats Scratchy in the chair, then pours barbecue sauce and flesh-eating ants onto Scratchy's head. The ants devour the fur and flesh from Scratchy's head, leaving only his skull. Itchy then uses the chair lift to propel Scratchy into the air, through the ceiling, and into Elvis Presley's television set in the room upstairs, where Elvis is watching TV. Elvis comments that "This show ain't no good," and shoots the TV.
