Plot

The psychiatrist needs a psychiatrist after attempting to treat Woody Woodpecker.

Woody Woodpecker spends his day singing loudly and pecking holes in trees. He infuriates the other woodland creatures - when he isn't baffling them with his bizarre behavior. Woody overhears a squirrel and a group of birds gossiping about him. Even though he just sang a song proclaiming his craziness, he denies their whispered accusations that he's nuts. But after they trick him into knocking his head on a statue, the poor bird hears voices in his head and decides the animals might be right. He decides to see a doctor. But leave it to Woody to choose Dr. Horace N. Buggy, a Scottish-brogue-burring fox, who is even madder than he is.—J. Spurlin

Woody Woodpecker disrupts the peace and quiet of Birdland with his zany antics and infamous laugh. When the Woodland animals tell him he's crazy by saying, "You've got some screws loose!" Woody tries to prove how smart he is by carving a tree into a totem pole... but then tries to do the same to a petrified tree. Woody realizes, "Maybe I AM crazy. Maybe I'd better see a psychi...psychiatr... psyche..psy.. a doctor!". He decides to visit Dr. Horace N. Buggy, and he gives Woody some tests, but the nutty woodpecker defies them all in the most absurd ways, culminating in his crashing out of the office. Then Dr. Horace N Buggy confides, "Don't mind him, folks. He's crazy... but I'M all right!" Dr. Horace N. Buggy then throws an insane fit saying, "Or am I?" Meanwhile, Woody is now in the theater audience watching the cartoon and annoying the other patrons!—Matt Yorston <george.y@ns.sympatico.ca>
