HTF's Episode Description
That Nutty just can't resist a sweet treat! Luckily Cuddles is smooth on the skateboard and out-maneuvers Nutty at every turn. His last trick is a head-roller!!!

Plot
We begin with Cuddles standing next to an ice cream truck, apparently ready to receive a little treat. Cuddles then picks up his treat: a strawberry ice cream cone from ice cream man Cro-Marmot. After receiving his ice cream, Cuddles tosses his skateboard to the ground, and jumps on it, riding away. Unbeknownst to Cuddles, is that behind some trees lies a peeking Nutty, who quickly catches a glimpse of Cuddles' little snack. As Cuddles continues to ride, Nutty begins to chase him. Cuddles then notices Nutty following him, and Cuddles scream in shock when he realizes that Nutty is stalking him.

After Cuddles and Nutty ride down a small hill, Cuddles yells in panic when he realizes that a chopped down tree is blocking the road. Luckily, there's a small wooden plank which acts as a ramp. Cuddles rides up the ramp, successfully dodging a beehive above him. When Cuddles lands on the floor, Nutty's scooter catches up to him, but to his surprise, Nutty isn't on it. It turns out that Nutty didn't quite dodge the beehive, and now he has his whole head stuck inside. Nutty begins to flail and scream in panic as the bees viciously attack him. Nutty's body then goes limp, and a portion of the beehive falls off, which shows Nutty's face covered in bee stings. Blood pours out of his mouth, one of his eyes falls out of its sockets, and a swarm of bees fly out of his face.

Cuddles lets out a sigh of relief, as he is no longer being chased, and he puts his focus on his ice cream. However, Cuddles' spent too much time looking at his ice cream, he quickly discovers a small staircase. Before Cuddles gets the chance to do something, he trips, and his entire body is slices by the three steps, and the top half of his head scrapes across the pavement. As the iris closes in on Cuddles' face, his ice cream falls and impales his right eye.
