Synopsis

Bimbo takes on the role of a lumberjack in the north woods. His partner is a slow-moving walrus who, in order to chop down trees, must be given a fish. Towards the end of the picture, a massive tornado strikes the camp, causing a high-flying scene, much like the one in Disney's "The Band Concert." When Bimbo runs out of fish, his partner starts getting irate and chases Bimbo, running smack-dab into the tornado.
