Plot
Handy is walking along, when he sees an old album with his parents in it. This stirs up some memories. When Handy was young (and still had his hands), he would spend all day sucking his thumb. His parents, Bob and Wendy, always warned him about sucking his thumb, and that bad things would happen to him, but Handy wouldn’t listen. Then one day, a deranged hat maker named Arnold was going on a spree, cutting people’s hands off. He saw Handy’s house and went in to see Handy sucking his thumb. Arnold then used a pair of shears to cut off Handy’s hands, much to the horror of his parents. Bob and Wendy called the police, and Lumpy and Disco Bear arrived to arrest Arnold. Handy was clearly traumatized by this event, so Bob and Wendy comforted him. They saw that getting prosthetic arms was expensive, so they would have to wait several years until they had enough money to buy the prosthetic arms. As for Arnold, he was charged with using a pair of shears with intent to maim. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. We go back to reality, and Handy puts the album away. There is an iris-out.
