WATLEY - BUSINESS TYCOON6 viewsWatley has made it through the hard work and harder knocks. Now he is open for business and dressed to kill. He is on a roll, on his own, and back in the saddle again. - But Snadely Snadely (attorney for Reestus Feestus, the Cranish Pie king and Watley's greatest competitor) has come to try to swindle Watley.

|
GIANT BUTTERFLY6 viewsMom and Dad Sneeble ride a giant butterfly. They pay for the ride with Cranish Pies. People of Poppycock use giant butterflies for transportation (if they can afford it).
|
|
LOADED DOWN WITH WORK6 viewsDad Sneeble works for Reestus Feestus in his Cranish Pie Factory. Dad Sneeble is so nervous when Reestus stomps in to fire him that he forgets to switch off the conveyor belt. The pies topple off, covering him up. Dad Sneeble is ordered to get out at once. Now he turns off the machinery in the factory too fast and it rumbles and sputters, and screeches, causing the whole factory to fall into a heap, just as he walks out the door.

|
AFTER THE FALL5 viewsWatley returns to the house, only to find that Mom and Dad Sneeble have given-up trying to fix it and start over. Suddlenly Watley trips on a loose plank and the thud of him falling causes the rotten planks to cave in on him. Just at this moment, Snadely Snadely appears.
|
|
OLD HOME PLACE2 viewsRejected at Poppycock because of Watley's rebellion, the Sneebles return to their old home place, only to find it in shambles and overgrown with briers and weeds as tall as they are. Mom and Dad Sneeble are grieved. Now Watley feels ashamed of having hurt them (even though he knows what he did was right otherwise).
|
|
MEETING OF THE MINDS8 viewsMom and Dad Sneeble have been riding Rosalind the Giant Butterfly. When she takes off, the whoosh-whoosh stirs the air like a hurricane, sending the Groundlings up into the air. Now the head of the Groundlings steps forward to negotiate a settlement with the Sneebles on how they can continue this mode of transportation and the Groundlings can have peace.
|
|
PUDDLE PADDLE4 viewsMom and Dad Sneeble have escaped from Poppycock as the battle raged around them. Dad Sneeble has protected Mom Sneeble from flying furniture and falling buildings and flying fists and bullets. Now, as a great rain storm comes up, Mom Sneeble returns the favor by paddling across a mud puddle on her big duck feet with Dad Sneeble on her back.
|
|
A TASTE WILL TELL3 viewsMom and Dad Sneeble have a successful Cranish farm now and sell their Cranish Pies at a stand by the road. Baby Watley helps (and is learning the trade). They give free samples of their delicious pies to drum up business and crowds come. But soon most of the pies are sampled and few are left to be sold.
|
|
GETTING INTO THE SWIM OF THINGS3 viewsWatley's roof has fallen in (on top of his other problems). But Watley lets the house fill up with water, making it into a swimming pool. When the rich and famous Beebo Babbit and Freeba B. Weeba Pok stroll by, they see Watley in his "pool" and assume he is very rich too. They climb up and join Watley for an afternoon frolic (leaving their poor relation, Garbly Greeb tied to a porch post bellow). Watley and Freeba fall in love.

RETURN TO POPPYCOCK6 viewsUnlike his parents, Watley Weeble Sneeble has all the "Right" features in his appearance to be accepted into Poppycock society as one of the "Best Types". Now the Sneeble leave their sweet little cottage in the country where they have been so happy running their own Cranish Pie business. It is more important to Mom and Dad Sneeble being accepted by certain important others than having a really good life on their own. Watley is very sad, but must obey.

WATLEY AMONG THE BULLRUSHES2 viewsMom and Dad Sneeble have gone into the house to see if they can salvage it. Watley slips off to sit by the stream remembering happier days there as a child.
