As Bullwinkle clings to the ticking hand of the clock, Rocky races to devise a plan to bring him back inside safely. However, Bullwinkle loses his grip and begins to plummet, but fortunately, Rocky grabs his feet just in time, preventing a disastrous fall. Meanwhile, Boris Badenov, disguised as the pipe-puffing Detective Hemlock Soames, throws down a rope but fails to secure the other end, leaving Bullwinkle in danger of continuing his descent.
