Hank, the dog who cannot be taught a new trick because he never learned the old one, is at it again. This time he and Drover are busy finding out about some sort of conspiracy among the turkeys, when all of a sudden they spot a pirate on the ranch. The pirate turns out to be the ranch owner's son, Alfred. When Alfred takes Hank up into a tree house turned into a ship, things become hilariously out of control. John R. Erickson's reading of his own work is superb, as always. The music and sound effects are an added bonus to a production that will keep listeners howling with laughter.
