Synopsis

Piggy Hamhock (a character concurrent with but separate from Porky Pig) is always hungry, thinking of food, eating, and stealing food when he can. When his mother leaves a pair of pies out to cool, he gobbles one down whole; and would have downed the second as well if his mother hadn’t stopped him.

That afternoon, his mother serves spaghetti for dinner. While she and his brothers and sisters say grace, he sneaks under the table and ties the ends of the spaghetti all together. When his mother says "and now commence," he sucks the entire meal (enough spaghetti for a family of eight) down all by himself in a single slurp. His mother scolds him: "Piggy! What's the matter with you?! Do you want you should burst?!" He listens, but shows that he clearly doesn't care.

The next morning, he finds himself invited into the home of a kindly, hiccoughing, old man. The old man asks Piggy if he's hungry and presents Piggy with a table laid out with a full-blown feast – complete with a roasted turkey. Overjoyed at the man's generosity, Piggy sits down, and the man reveals himself as some sort of mad scientist (voiced by Billy Bletcher, better known for the voice of Paw Bear in some later Warners toons), who straps him down and declares, "So, it's food you want! Ha, ha! (Hic) We'll give you plenty of it!"

The scene switches to the basement, revealing a bizarre machine built for the sole purpose of force-feeding hungry little kids like Piggy (not that he would need any forcing). As he begins his work, the scientist yells, "So, you love food, aye?"

A mechanical chair (with a robotic arm holding Piggy's nose) carries him to a huge vat (labeled "SUPER SOUP FEEDER") filled with gallons of soup; the mechanical arm pulls Piggy's mouth open to let in a torrent of soup. He is then fed bananas shot out of their skins down his throat like bullets. There follow stops at a gumball machine that doles out olives and at a conveyor belt of ice cream cones. Then comes the main course – a sandwich as big as a king-sized bed (featuring the first appearance of Freleng’s "hold the onions" gag), followed by dessert dispensed from the "PIE-A-TROPE" (pies spun on the spindle of a converted jukebox).

Laughing maniacally, the scientist incessantly continues forcing the food into Piggy – shown in montage. After an entire day of this business, the pig is returned up to the mad scientist's house: transformed into an obese, food-packed, ball. Bulging out of the restraints, Piggy could never in the world have been more content, happy, and satisfied as he was at that moment.

Smiling at the sight of Piggy’s obesity, the scientist pokes him twice and kindly asks "Have enough, my boy?" To which Piggy replies "Y-y-y-yes sir!" The doctor then releases him commenting, "Why, you're not half full!"
