Premise[]
Cyril goes out of control trying to be a good father for Cedric, when he builds an amateur flying machine to enter in the science fair. When Bert finds a tar pit with dinosaur bones in it, The Pigs see some competition, and sabotage Bert's science project in the form of pouring Snag's bones into the pit, with Snag bent on revenge.
Plot[]
With Bert and Cedric both preparing science fiction projects, the Pigs dig up Snag's bones and make them appear to be dinosaur bones to stymie Bert (so that Cedric can win), while Cyril commandeers Cedric's project, until finally, Cedric and Cyril come to a boiling point and no longer work together effectively.
Meanwhile, the Pigs ensue in their deception of Bert. Finally, Cedric and Cyril come to a resolution, while the Pigs are once again stymies for their dastardly deeds.
