| Staring: |
| Two alley cats, Babbitt and Catsello, decide to make a meal out of Orson as he sleeps in his nest atop a telephone pole. The gullible (and loud) Catsello is repeatedly gulled into trying to "get the bird," earning a variety of thrashings from the casually murderous little canary. Catsello finally resorts to an air strike (with a pair of wooden boards for wings), but it's wartime, and Orson has the cat blasted out of the sky by anti-aircraft guns. | |

Trending Position
"Babbit" and "Costello" try just about everything to catch "Tweety Pie" who is safely ensconced in his nest atop a tall tree. Dynamite, stilts, springs, water pistols and just about everything else are in their armoury but it doesn't look good for the "poor puddy cat". An anvil and a pitch fork ... ... ouch!
