Summary
  • Tommy Town: Tommy and two other boys are going fishing. Tommy tells the others they need good rods and tackle to catch fish. The other boys tells Tommy a piece of thread, a bent pin and a stick is all you need. They all start fishing and the two boys start catching fish. Tommy doesn't catch any.
  • Ratty and Algy: Algy has a plan where he fishes on the dock and a Ratty is under the dock attaching fish to his line. Algy plan didn't work. He hooked the picnic basket from under the dock rather than Ratty putting fish on his hook.
  • Circus Solly: Two men are disguised as birds, one as a pelican, one as a stork. They are trying to hide from the men who are looking for them. They land on a pond. The men walk through the pond trying not to disturb the pelican and stork. Little do they know the men they are looking for are hiding under the wings.
