Private Notes
Woody is a street sweeper and gets into trouble with Officer Wally Walrus. He tries to get even for Wally throwing a banana peel on the sidewalk. He steals the cop's uniform and gets into the Jingling Bros. Circus because he is wearing it. Wally tries to get in, but he gets thrown out. He sneaks in under a tent, and Woody gives him a merry chase. Wally disguises himself as an elephant to catch the bird.
A sheep rancher entrusts his goofy sheepdog Dizzy to guard his herd one night. The dog is told to blow a whistle when he sees a wolf, but he spends his time fooling his master by "crying wolf," and he proceeds to blow the whistle for no reason other than to excite the farmer. The fun begins when a real wolf shows up to steal the flock after Dizzy has worn out his warning. Taken from the "Boy Who Cried Wolf" story.
When Woody Woodpecker ventures out to claim a large reward for capturing pirate Captain Buzz Buzzard, he learns that a wooden plank can be used for much more than eating.
The Lion, the King of the Jungle, is taking his royal snooze when a mouse comes on a safari to his royal hideaway. The mouse is from Bungling Brothers Circus [us], and his mission is to take HRH back to the states as a circus act. The mouse then goes about his business of capturing the lion. At the fadeout, back in the USA, the lion of performing on a precarious tight-rope, high above the arena sawdust, while the mouse whip lashes him.
Lumber mill workers Woody Woodpecker and Buzz Buzzard are friends when they are sawing trees, but when Wally Walrus (making a brief cameo as the lumber camp chef) rings the dinner bell, they become bitter enemies.

Herman the turtle has a great ambition: to fly like a bird! He salvages jewels from the deep to pay an avaricious eagle to teach him. The eagle carries him up, up and up. The eagle lets go and starts to give instructions. The turtle falls immediately and crashes. Fortunately, he lands in "Turtle Heaven," where he becomes an angel and wins his wings for keeps!
With his TV busted, and not content to sit at home, Woody Woodpecker dashes off to the arena to attend a wrestling match. His heckling leads to one thing: an apparently one-sided match with the champ. Woody ends up becoming the new champ!
One morning at breakfast, Milford gets a phone call from a radio game show. He answers a question from the host and wins a new super-deluxe automobile for the family. The car is delivered to the house, and everyone is admiring the car. The problem is that no one in the family knows how to drive it (Maw thinks that the antenna is a "new-fangled clothesline"). Eventually, Milford goes for a joyride around the farm, chasing most of the residents, before finally crashing into a tree, reducing the vehicle to the size of a Model T. It is now the right size for the family! The joy is short-lived, however, as the "Model T" goes into a mudhole and sinks into the horizon.
Woody Woodpecker and Buzz Buzzard, bellboys at a ritzy hotel, are visited by a very glamorous French actress, Ga Ga Gazoo. They fight for the privilege of serving Miss Gazoo in a laugh-loaded mix-up. They also fight off her French poodle!
Woody is asked by a law officer to serve a court summons on Buzz Buzzard.
Milford the pig gets the mail and informs Paw that the family has won a brand new house after Maw and Paw have accumulated a million boxtops. Their joy turns to frustration when they learn the catch: the house is prefabricated, and they must put the entire house together themselves. With the family's intelligence (especially Paw's competence), this isn't an easy task. Examples: Paw is shrouded in measuring tape when Milford lets go too suddenly. When Maw carries a board, it starts vibrating to the point where it carries her into the air, dropping her into the washing machine (Paw thinks that he's watching Maw on TV). Finally, the house is finished, and the family moves inside. Unfortunately, Paw steps on a loose floorboard, causing the house to disassemble into a pile of rubble.
When Western bad guy Buzz Buzzard returns to town to settle a score with the sheriff, the sheriff gets the bright idea of pinning his badge on an unsuspecting little saloon piano player named Woody Woodpecker. Woody goes after Buzz in order to protect his small Western town and impress his Tex-Mex girlfriend. While he doesn't have enough sense to run from a showdown, Woody proves that there's a lot of imagination in being brave as he faces Buzz.
A schooner anchors at the South Pole, and the skipper goes ashore and leaves the ship's mascot, a St. Bernard dog, to stand watch and guard the ship. A small penguin, Chilly Willy (the only penguin not equipped for cold weather...anywhere), sees the ship and tries to get warm by its stove. The watchdog attempts to get rid of him, but Willy manages to get the dog drunk from the rum in its own cask. The captain returns to find Willy saving the ship from sinking, while the dog is found sleeping it off. Willy is made mascot and the dog is tossed in the ship's brig.
