Plot
Senior guides a tour group - consisting of Stretchy, Lifty, Shifty, Crafty, Mag and Scurvy - through his museum. Suddenly, the giraffe gets his head stuck between two signs. The group members, except Stretchy, begin robbing the place while Senior is unable to move. Stretchy worries her long neck may lead her to a similar fate.

Stretchy enters a hospital, hitting her head against several door frames before making her way to the operation room. As Stretchy walks out hours later, she does not hit her head this time. This is because she had her neck shortened. She walks off noticing how much shorter everything around her looks.

Nutty and Tangles are seen in the cafe waiting to be served. Hiss is also there, a newspaper covering his face, waiting for an opportunity to catch Tangles. Stretchy arrives and immediately her customers' orders. She looks up at her shelf, barely able to see anything because of her new height.

Looking around, Stretchy finds a stool she thinks will help her. Unfortunately, that stool's legs happen to be too short. Nutty shoves her out of the way and tries reaching for a bag of sugar on the shelf. Before Tangles could intervene, Hiss pounces on him and drags him out the door. Stretchy gets an idea from this.

She gets Tangles to bite onto her head, then grabs hold of the door, expecting to have her neck stretched. Hiss continues tugging on Tangles, causing Stretchy's neck to grow increasingly longer. It soon reaches its original height, much to her joy, but Tangles cannot let go. Stretchy ends up having her head ripped off. Tangles and Hiss are launched into the air, until being entangled to a telephone pole and electrocuted. Nutty finally reaches the bag of sugar, but it falls and crushes him.

Back at the museum, Senior is now shown covered in cobwebs and sporting a thick beard. With all his exhibits gone, he has turned himself into an exhibit. The Mole snaps a photo but Senior's head is cut out of the frame.
