Between a makeshift land sail (which ends up working only in a straight line), some dynamite on a string, a large firework, a plank on which he aims to launch by a boulder, an anvil connected to a balloon, a SpringCoil, a box of pebbles marked as Dehydrated Boulders, an outboard steamroller (DeusExMachina), and a detour that actually leads into the barrel of a cannon, one guess as to how it all works out.

* RocketRide: Attempted, but the firework launches without the Coyote and takes his chest fur with it. When it makes a U-turn at a cavern, the Coyote loses part of his back fur. He skulks onto the roadway, revealing that the rocket also stripped off the fur on his crown.

He starts off thinking simple by putting out a fake coyote leg on the road to try and trip his prey. Instead, it gets all wound up. Thinking nothing of it, he takes the foot out onto the road, leans on it, and gets wound up in the process.

It starts with the standard ChaseScene, where the Coyote has a napkin around his neck and a fork and knife in his paws. At an intersection, the Road Runner makes a sharp left, while the Coyote's attempt to put on the brakes causes him to continue straight ahead and brake into the dirt -- right off the edge of a plateau where a bridge was implied to stand. After the landing, he tosses out his utensils, undoes his napkin, and goes off to ponder his next play.

After that trap fails and Wile E. sulks away, the steamroller reappears to run him over for the closing scene.

* OverlyLongGag: The final gag. Wile E. sends an automatic steamroller after the Road Runner, but instead of flattening him, it sends it to a detour and through a tunnel entrance. This turns out to be disguising the mouth of a very large cannon, which Wile E. lights. The fuse runs out and... nothing. After a few moments, Wile E. looks down the tunnel and sees the headlight of an incoming train, complete with whistle. Wile E. is confused, but then figures it's just the Road Runner playing a trick. He looks again and BLAM! -- the cannon finally fires, and the Road Runner is straddled on the cannonball, happy as you please. Wile E. walks away dejected... right into the path of the returning steamroller.
