Woody has pecked dozens of telephone poles full of holes, so much so that telephone company employee Floyd Farkle is threatened with being fired if he doesn’t catch him this time. Farkle tries to catch Woody by pulling him down from atop a pole, but Woody moves out of the way. Being generous, Woody decides to help Farkle out by fixing his hard hat- by lighting a stick of dynamite and telling Farkle to hold the hat down. Amazingly, Woody’s trick works, despite Farkle’s head blowing up. Farkle then tries to shoot Woody with a shotgun, first flying a hot-air balloon up to the top of the pole and then by lighting a rocket under him to try and fly. Woody suggests that Farkle join the circus, which only serves to anger the man. Woody then looks on in disbelief as Farkle tries dressing up as a woodpecker to try and catch him. Although Woody sees right through it, he decides to play along as Farkle plays dumb. He allows Farkle to peck with him, only to have him fall down when he attempts to fly. Woody then calls Farkle’s boss, who sends a helicopter out to pick Farkle (an overly large woodpecker) up and carry him away.
