Plot[]
Jay, Jake, and Jim are sleeping in the slingshot but Chuck wakes them up. He intends to do an obstacle course with the Blues.
He starts by showing them how to climb a log wall. The Blues are reluctant to try so Chuck demonstrates his first stage by jumping right over the log wall and back on top. The Blues do the same thing, but faster than Chuck, who becomes jealous of their performance.
In the next stage, Chuck demonstrates the act of jumping through tires, but he gets stuck in one and rushes back to the Blues. However, Jim lights the obstacle course on fire, worrying Chuck as they perform the task much quicker and more efficiently than Chuck, and without getting stuck in the tires due to their small size again Chuck gets jealous of them and goes to the Slingshot, where the Blues had slept in.
The Blues then challenge Chuck into flinging himself with the Slingshot blindfolded, with a straightjacket, fire on his head, chains, and an anchor attached to him. He launches himself but crashes onto a cliff and gets stuck up there. The Blues go back to sleep in the slingshot, unwilling to help Chuck, who attempts to get their attention unsuccessfully by struggling to get to his whistle with his beak.
In the credits, Chuck can still be heard crying for help to get him off the cliff.
