Synopsis

In this parody of the classic "Baby Snooks" radio program, Quentin Quail is looking for a worm for his baby Toots' supper. He spies a worm, but when he gives chase, he's "drilled" into the ground, "plunged" through the sky, and gets his hand smashed. As a final indignity, after a violent confrontation with a hungry crow, he presents baby Toots with the tasty worm, only to have her refuse to eat him because "he looks like Frank Sinatra!"
