Synopsis

The Pixies of the forest are having a picnic. Their band is playing "La Gazza Ladra Overture," led by a little old bewhiskered Pixie on a toadstool. Their instruments are improvised from flowers, spider webs, etc. A bee pesters one Pixie, while a box of pepper causes several others to sneeze. The cooks get too much stuffing in the turkey, which explodes, scrambling the food and musicians. One Pixie almost drowns in the cider well, but he hiccups himself out and onto the bowling green, where he tries to bowl. He finally fires the ball out of a cannon, lets loose an avalanche of giant pumpkins, squash, melons, etc., and breaks up the picnic.
