Woodman, Spare That Tree

A crow steals a $100 dollar bill from Mr. Wilson.

A funny episode with Wilson having a real good reason to be nervous and irritated.

It begins as Wilson is trying to save an old oak tree from being cut down. Dennis and Tommy are feeding crows in his yard.

Wilson gets a letter from a gambling relative, it contains a $100 dollar bill that was owed to him. Interesting thing is that bill looks like a real one, Ben Franklin and everything. One of the crows snatches it and flies off.

Gloria Henry makes an appearance talking to Dennis on the phone, she is seated and behind a desk due to her real life pregnancy.

It ends up with a very funny scene where Wilson finds out the crow's nest with his money is in the old oak tree.

The mayor is a boorish loud mouth as usual. And he wants to chop down a tree. And there's money in the tree. Of course, this puts Mr. Wilson in a predicament reminiscent of Safety Last. Mr. Wilson is funnier than Harold Loyd. Mr. Wilson really needs Dennis and Tommy in this one. Bird loving comes into play in this short, too. I wonder if this series sparked an interest in bird watching societies. Oh well, the bird meetings is a topic for other episodes. This is about fighting City Hall. When it comes to money, George has a little Daffy Duck in him. It's good to see there's people to come running to save a tree and a citizen, too.
