Plot
In the forest, Giggles has a picnic with Cuddles. Suddenly, a tree falls on Cuddles and his date turns around to find Lumpy logging once again. Giggles activates her environmental instincts and argues at Lumpy. A nearby Nutty taps a tree and has maple syrup pouring into his mouth. In his treehouse, Pecky sniffs out the syrup and immediately goes crazy.

A feathery blur pecks holes through the trees and Nutty rushes out with his bucket of syrup. Lumpy decides to move elsewhere for wood and Giggles lifts the fallen tree off Cuddles. A passing Pecky causes another tree to fall on him. Outside the forest, Nutty continues running, dripping his syrup. He passes by Russell and syrup drips on his peg legs. Pecky follows the path of syrup and soon pecks through Russell's peg legs. Russell crawls toward an unwary Injury and pushes him off his wheelchair, as he needs it now that his legs are gone.

Handy finishes constructing a dam over the river. Pecky pecks through every peice of wood on the dam, causing the water to flood out and drown Handy. Pecky eventually reaches Nutty's house and pecks through the walls, spotting him about to pour the syrup on pancakes.

Nutty rushes out again with Pecky on his trail. Back in the forest, Giggles and Cuddles chain themselves to a tree to ensure no more harm comes to the trees. Nutty rushes by and Pecky pecks right through the chain, as well as Cuddles' and Giggles' torsos. Entire acres of woodland are timbered town as Nutty runs from the woodpecker.

Nutty is so focused looking behind him that he bumps into a tree and gets stuck to it with sticky syrup. Pecky closes in as Nutty shuts his eyes. The flood comes in and washes the syrup off Nutty. With much of the forest cleared, Pecky and Nutty spot one standing tree left. They tap it and maple syrup comes pouring out. Nutty licks it up, only for Pecky to peck a hole through his head to get at it first. All of a sudden, Pecky is crushed by a tree. The scene shows that Lumpy cut the tree down, and he smiles sheepishly.

Moral
"A wooden performance leaves only splinters."
