With arguably the most famous laugh of any cartoon character in history ("ha-ha-ha-HA-ha"), Woody Woodpecker pecked his way into our lives through a 1940 Andy Panda theatrical short entitled Knock Knock. Woody continued to appear in short films throughout the 40's and 50's, and in 1957, the Kellogg's company packaged these theatrical works into the syndicated package The Woody Woodpecker Show. Walter Lantz created the famed bird, and in the show's early days, the animator would host from his office, demonstrating how cartoons were made by showing the viewers at home such essentials as painting cels and drawing storyboards. Woody, an obnoxious mischief-maker, would usually star in the shorts, occasionally taking a backseat to his friends Andy Panda, Wally Walrus, Gabby Gator, Buzz Buzzard, Oswald the Rabbit, The Beary Family and Arctic penguin Chilly Willy.

Andy Panda is conducting the Hollywood Washbowl Orchestra in a Sunday afternoon concert. It's one of those afternoons when everything goes wrong. A frog gets entangled in Andy's wig, but he finally manages to extricate himself. Andy's stiff shirt front catches on a nail. Yank and jerk as he will, it won't come loose. The orchestra, following every yank and jerk, goes into a very snappy jam session. A pig, a squirrel, a flock of birds and a cat do their best to interrupt the concert, but in spite of everything, Andy manages to hold forth and keep the musicians playing. An adagio dance by two ducks is interrupted by a hungry fox who starts to chase the ducks.

The ball lands on Wally's head, causing a sudden end to the golf game. With nothing to do but take a bath, Woody's dime for the hot water meter falls down the drain. Retrieving his dime requires a bit of ingenuity and the help of a long wire, a wrench, a jack, a sledgehammer and finally some dynamite. The combined operations reunite Woody and his dime, but they're too much for Wally and his rooming house, each of which ends up a complete wreck.

Palsy Walsy, somewhere in the romantic South Seas. Suddenly, a terrible storm sinks their ship at sea and casts them ashore on a tiny, deserted tropical island. When scant food is the order of the day, they each think that the other would make a great dinner. Famished, they dream of roast woodpecker and roast wolf. They begin a chase in their efforts to eat each other. A gooney bird sidetracks their cannibalistic urges temporarily, but they soon revert to numerous tricks and subterfuges, such as Woody's wooden fish on a trout line to lure Wolfie into a pot of soup, or Wolfie trying to put Woody through a bread slicer while Woody grinds the wolf through a meat grinder. The gooney bird stops the assorted mayhem by donating a tableful of food, but Woody tricks Wolfie into sampling a wolfburger, the meat portion of which is the wolf's own leg.
