Plot[]
Prickles reads a book about hunting with boomerangs. He sees an ant crawling on the ground and throws his boomarang at it, missing. Fed up with his failure to catch ants, Prickles thinks of an idea. He cuts down a huge tree and spends many days and nights carving it. Afterwards, it is shown that he has made the world's largest boomerang. Then he realizes he won't be able to throw it, and facepalms. After more hard work, he builds a catapult.
Prickles pushes the giant boomerang on the catapult in hopes of killing the ants. However, an ant glues his hands to the bomerang, getting him stuck as the glue quickly dries. Another ant cuts the rope and sends him flying. Rather than hitting the anthill, the boomerang and Prickles are sent flying over the Outback.
The boomerang slices trees down. Kuddly sits in one tree eating eucalyptus leaves, when she sees the boomerang coming towards her. She packs her things and runs down the tree, and not a second sooner, it is cut down and squashes her. Glider is seen flying through the air. The boomerang passes by him and he hears Prickles' cries for help. He chases after it but tires out. He regains his stamina from a tree's sap, then decides to just wait until the boomerang comes back.
The boomerang sends Prickles through Australia, from Ayers Rock to the Sydney Opera House. After flying over the oceans, he passes by the Golden Gate Bridge. He flies all over the world and passes other famous landmarks.
Finally, the boomerang flies back to Australia, much to Prickles' joy. However, the ants have carved a tree into a giant toothpick and point it towards him. Within moments, the boomerang and Prickles are impaled by the toothpick. Glider arrives and puts Prickles' impaled corpse down to safety. Then he puts the boomerang on the catapult and ties himself to it. The episode ends with Glider saying "wheee" as the boomerang carries him around the world.
