Out in the mountains, Magoo mistakes three bear cubs for the three boy scouts he's taking on an overnight hike.

Mr. Magoo opens his newspaper and when he comes across an ad for bowling, he mistakes it for an alcohol ad using a picture of himself to endorse it. Furious, he heads to the newspaper office intent on suing them for libel. Along the way, he stops to purchase a mechanical wind up toy which he puts inside a box. When he arrives at the newspaper office, the employees there get the wrong idea when they notice the ticking box and flee Magoo taking time to call the bomb squad.

Magoo's car breaks down on an airport runway, as a plane comes in for an emergency landing.

Intending to visit his friend at the yacht club, Magoo winds up at the wrong dock, where he is mistaken for a foreign spy and brought aboard an enemy submarine.

A female con artist pretends to be an old flame of Magoo's to get at his wealth, and Magoo takes her on a date to a construction site, which he mistakes for Coney Island.

Magoo obliviously foils a criminal's robbery attempts while running his errands around town.

In a flashback Mr. Magoo thinks back in time to the Gay 90's when he was a young man, and just as myopic then as in the 1950s. He makes a bet with a friend that he can get a date with a star of the Broadway stage. It isn't long before Stage-Door Johnny Magoo winds up on stage in the play during a dinner scene, and performs rather well considering he was hearing the dialogue for the first time. Later, he is firmly convinced he had taken the Police Gazette beauty to dinner. No, her name wasn't Andre.
