Plot
Beaky Buzzard's mother tasks him and his brothers with finding food. While his siblings cause chaos bringing back various creatures, Beaky only captures a baby bumblebee. On his journey home, he sings happily until a larger bee attacks him, causing him to crash near a dragon's lair. Mistaking the dragon's head for a small animal, Beaky picks a fight before realizing his mistake and fleeing.
Back home, his mother worries about his absence. When Beaky returns empty-handed, she scolds him. However, Beaky reveals he caught the dragon, who comically disputes being dinner.
