Magoo and Charlie prepare a barbecue for some friends, building a pit in the back yard. But, as usual, the entire affair turns into a disaster. Magoo chops up the garden hose (thinking that it's wood) and pours gasoline on it to light up. It catches the neighbor's house on fire. When the firemen come, Magoo thinks that the fire hose is salami, and he chops it in pieces. He does invite the firemen to the barbecue, though.
