Plot

Lumpy (a dinosaur) is playing a banjo at a camp fire with Giggles, Cuddles and Toothy. As he plays, one of the strings on the banjo breaks, and Giggles, Cuddles, and Toothy laugh, in which makes Lumpy want to kill them. After smashing everyone, Lumpy laughs maniacally, and Toothy's head, somehow still alive, bites Lumpy's foot. The episode ends with a screaming Lumpy.
