While there he encounters a mean rival, Peg Leg Pete, who taunts him and causes his plane to get glued to the ground with chewing gum. As Peg Leg Pete takes a lead, Oswald manages to construct a plane of balloons and a long dachshund dog. While at first managing to put up a good effort, Oswald is eventually shot down by Peg Leg Pete over Paris. After parachuting into Paris, Oswald is welcomed by the local patrons as he ended up winning the race.
