A group of anthropomorphic animals are having fun in the snow, and steal Farmer Al Falfa's door. After fighting with his water pump and later his hand, Al Falfa wakes up from a drunken dream and has trouble getting inside his house. The animals invite the farmer to have fun with them.

Farmer Al Falfa is the proprietor of a lunchroom, and Thomas Cat and Milton Mouse (and his little mice friends) all help Al. But the mice, as cartoon mice are known for doing, get mischievous and throw too much yeast into Al's bread-dough, and it swells up and bursts. Al's summary lesson is that "Life and Hash are what we make them."
Dinner Time is noted as the first sound cartoon short made after Warner Bros.' success with The Jazz Singer and produced even before Walt Disney's first sound cartoon, Steamboat Willie (though released after).
Al Falfa and the cat have a traveling medicine show. They stop and the cat plays some banjo music, and then Al sells his miracle cure: ends lumbago, whatever that is! Grows hair! Improves your bowling score!
