Synopsis

Wendy wishes she had a clock in order to organize her household. Peter Pan immediately suggests extracting the clock inside the ticking crocodile. The ensuing silliness results in Capt. Hook losing his wardrobe, the crocodile being subjected to a Hook "puppet show," and a firing of projectiles full of laughing gas into the poor croc's jaws. Meanwhile, Hook is sure Peter's reason for trying to remove the clock is to eliminate the warning sound of the crocodile's approach, and starts getting a little psychotic.
