About Hop and Go

Claude Hopper, a kangaroo who calls himself the best hopper around, is taken on by two Scottish rabbits who tangle him in a boxing ring and then ride his tail on a distance leap. He dumps ballast from his pouch for another try, but they have gummed his tail down. He falls in the river, and the rabbits wash up in his water-filled pouch.
