Plot
Hercules is seen lifting a twig like a barbel. He decides to go for something more challenging. Twiggy comes along and tries to lift the twig himself. As Hercules lifts a much bigger stick, Maggie shows up.

Willing to impress Maggie, Twiggy tries harder to lift up his twig. Hercules, on the other hand, lifts a rock and Maggie giggles with approval. Twiggy loses two arms after barely lifting the twig off the ground, to the expense of Maggie and Hercules. Twiggy loses confidence and gives up.

Hercules begins showing off by lifting several large objects with his mandibles. Maggie of course is intrigued. To finish off his act, Hercules tries to lift an egg. Just as he manages to do so, a chick hatches out of the egg and snatches him. Hercules' strength is put to the ultimate test as he tries to keep the bird's beak from closing on him, but the odds were stacked against him.

The chick looks a two twigs (one of which is actually Twiggy laying still) before wandering away. Maggie comes out of hiding and now shows attraction to Twiggy. He attempts to lift his twig one more time to show off, only for his body to snap in half.

Deaths

 * 1) Hercules is crushed by the chick's beak.
 * 2) Twiggy's body snaps in half.

Trivia
