Synopsis

Messy barks all night at a non-existent cat. Not only does he keep Stretchy awake, he loses his bark! Tiny suggests Noisy can do Messy's barking for him for the next day until his woofello coil is mended. In the meantime Tiny suggests that Stretchy builds an oompa-boompa-bell-and-whistle-ophone in an attempt to make more noise than either Noisy or Messy!
