Sylvester is on the lookout and see what's going on, he looks through a telescope and spotted around every corner, and he was determined to get a woodpecker who just moved in.
Sylvester's first plan is to put hair nets on his head as he disguising himself as a tree. he creeps through high up the tree, as he climbs up, the Woodpecker sees Sylvester is getting the bird. then the woodpecker uses the grease to spread around the tree, as Sylvester sees the woodpecker putting grease all over, he slides down but he tries to climb back up, but it was too late. He landed on the ground.
After Sylvester's attempted plan he uses an axe to chop down the tree, But a bulldog named Rover stops him from chopping down the tree. So Sylvester uses wood cement to put back on where what it was. and he smiles sheepishly at the dog.
His next plan, He uses stilts to get the woodpecker, as Sylvester walks towards the woodpecker, the woodpecker pecks on the stilts one by one until none of them are left. And that makes Sylvester fall, but luckily he holds on the limb of the tree. As he sees the woodpecker make a "Cut on dotted line" and pecks it and makes him fall, the limbs comes down steady now and getting closer and closer to the ground, and Sylvester waves goodbye and he falls.
Next, Sylvester does a pole vaulting plan to get the woodpecker. As he walks toward to the bird. As the woodpecker sees him walking closer, he rushed to the power source he's about to turn it on. But Sylvester tells him not to, he begs for him. But, the woodpecker is willing to turn it on anyway. Then Sylvester thankfully the woodpecker, then walks back as he can, but unfortunately, he did turned it on. As Sylvester painfully shocked he turns into funny poses, even a scanned dressed woman in a red bathing suit, and Sylvester falls to the ground again.
An angry Sylvester really hates that woodpecker and he grabs the axe again then starts chopping down the tree again. As Sylvester watches the tree fall, Rover angrily glares at him. He tries to catch the tree, but it's too late. Now, Sylvester is using wood material put at back together.
His next plan he uses the kite as a glider, then he flies to the woodpecker. Then Sylvester got his target, the woodpecker ran off. Then Sylvester tries to catch him, and the poor woodpecker was cornered. he hatched an idea, he placed a tomato and Sylvester caught him. But Sylvester realized he caught the wrong thing, and, thinking that he has killed the woodpecker in a gruesome fashion, becomes guilt-stricken over what he has done.
That night, Sylvester tries to swear off that woodpecker, then the woodpecker had a funny idea and make Sylvester ruin his life: by dressing as an angel. While Sylvester is still swearing off, he realized that he killed him. And poor Sylvester is cornered he didn't know he killed him. But the woodpecker had one last request, where someone had to finish him off, so he gave the pistol to Sylvester. As he grabs the pistol he tries to aim at the woodpecker, but accidentally aims at his head. However, upon noticing the "BULL TOBACCO" sign at the back of the woodpecker's angel disguise, Sylvester realizes that he was tricked into killing himself. Enraged, he shoots at the woodpecker.
Now Sylvester uses teeter-totter to grab the woodpecker, but it didn't work. Now he slings shot to the woodpecker. then he uses the bowing arrow gag.
Sylvester have tried so hard to get that woodpecker. But he noticed he sees invisible stairs. As Sylvester holds the sign says "Why didn't I think of this before?", as climbs up to the woodpecker he holds up another sign which it says "Anything is possible in a cartoon!" then he's made it. now he's using a branch to break the door, as he streaks toward him, he was trapped. Then woodpecker sees Sylvester was trapped, he was using needle point to stab him.
And finally he uses dynamite to blow up the tree, he lights up one at a time. And he hides in the hideout. As Sylvester laughed so hard that it will be the end of the woodpecker and his home. But Rover spotted him, He watches Sylvester stops the dynamite from blowing up, as he blows out the fuse, the woodpecker re-lights up one at a time. As Sylvester finished blows the fuse, he was noticed that it was back on. The most of the dynamite blows up. but at least the last one was still standing, It blows up violently. now the landscape was crashed 'cause of the dynamite and Sylvester was killed, The woodpecker noticed that Sylvester is now an angel and the cartoon ends.
On Cartoon Network and Boomerang in the United States, the part where Sylvester holds the gun to his head and attempts to shoot himself after the "angel" woodpecker gives him the gun (only for Sylvester to realize he's been duped and blast the woodpecker in the rear end) was cut to remove the short scene where the gun goes off and Sylvester ducks before he blasts the woodpecker in the rear end.[1] This scene however airs uncensored on overseas Cartoon Network and Boomerang channels, as evident in the video on the page here.
Dubbed Version[]
The USA dubbed version has red borders, and the EU dubbed version has blue borders. Both dubbed versions keep the original ending card, unlike most dubbed version cartoons because the cartoon has no dialogue.
The Russian dub on 2*2 has the 1941-55 MM ending theme instead of the special rendition first heard in The Wacky Wabbit.[2]
