Plot
Joey, Kuddly, Platto, and Hairy venture through a rainforest trying to find the way out, with none in sight. Lyer casually walks into the group and they immediately overjoyed to see someone who can help. Lyer guides the group through the forest, attempting to play a practical joke on them.

As they head deeper in the forest, they are split up. Joey comes across a river and Lyer tells him to cross it. Joey hops across the rocks, but is eaten by a crocodile before he could reach the other side.

Lyer walks away, unaware of Joey's demise, and bumps into Kuddly. She spies a log and Lyer tells her to crawl through it. Kuddly does so, only to be attacked and killed by the many ticks and spiders inside.

Hairy then runs into a nearby bridge and Lyer tells him to cross it. As Hairy walks on the bridge, it starts falling apart, but he manages to stay on. Unfortunately, the bridge was directly underneath a volcano, which bursted out lava and burned the bridge and Hairy to a crisp.

Platto keeps walking in circles and Lyer laughs at him. All of a sudden, a yowie appears behind Lyer and starts mauling him. Lyer calls Platto to help him, but he believes he is just making up the yowie and walks away laughing. Much to his surprise, he walks out of the forest and finally reaches civilization. He yells out to Lyer to thank him for guiding the way, unaware he is already dead. The yowie responds to the call with a burp.
