The protagonist, Charlie Chuck, struggles to reach an ice cream cone placed on the other side of the screen. However, four chefs wait on the stage to hinder him, so he must watch out for them approaching him and throwing food. Charlie must pick up food scattered across the field and throw it back at the chefs to temporarily neutralize them, all while trying to reach the ice cream within the time limit.
