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[]
The episode begins with Cuddles standing next to an ice cream truck, ready to receive a little treat. He then gets 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 him, Nutty is hiding behind some trees, and the squirrel quickly catches a glimpse of Cuddles' ice cream cone. As Cuddles continues to ride, Nutty begins to chase him on his scooter. Cuddles then notices Nutty following him and screams in shock at the realization.

Nutty stalks from the woods.
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. He rides up the ramp, successfully dodging a beehive above him. When he 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 manage to dodge the beehive, and now he has his whole head stuck inside. He begins to flail and scream in panic as the bees viciously attack him. His body then goes limp, and a portion of the beehive falls off, revealing Nutty's face covered in bee stings. Blood pours out of his mouth, one of his eyes falls out of its socket, and a swarm of bees fly out of his eye socket.
Cuddles lets out a sigh of relief, as he is no longer being chased, and he prepares to eat his ice cream. However, he suddenly sees a small staircase. Before he gets the chance to do something, he trips, his entire body is sliced by the three steps, and the top half of his head scrapes across the pavement. As the iris closes in on his face, his ice cream falls and impales his right eye.
