In his usual manner, Gabby, the bumbling know-it-all town crier, attempts to teach a young boy how to catch the really big fish. The boy was doing fine by himself, but, of course, Gabby has to show him how it's done- and ends up getting hooked himself.
The Mayor of Lilliput is about to go on a camping trip and trying to avoid letting Gabby go with him. However, Gabby invites himself along. He follows and offers his ill-informed expertise on woodlore, screwing everything up.
