A pelican blacksmith is bedeviled by a tree, which drops its burred-covered chestnuts on a horse just as he is trying to shoe it.
With a background recital of "The Village Blacksmith" this cartoons as Peter Pelican as a blacksmith trying to shoe a horse. Nuts from a chestnut tree keep falling through a hole in the roof and this annoys Petey so much that he places a can of dynamite under the tree with the intention of blowing it up. After the explosion, the chestnut tree is still standing but Petey's blacksmith shop is ancient history.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
