Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Foundling Beaky Buzzard is adopted by a couple of polite, English sparrows, named Monte and Gwendlyn. When Monte tries to teach lame-brained Beaky to catch a chicken, Beaky's ineptitude results in Monte being repeatedly struck with a mallet and caught in a grenade explosion.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | English sparrow Monte's transatlantic dialect pays homage to British-born actor Ronald Colman. Colman notably sported a monocle in The Prisoner of Zenda (1937), as Monte does in this cartoon. And Monte's words after being blown up by a grenade, "If I were king...", are a reference to Colman's role in the film If I Were King (1938). See more » |
