The film presents a tale about aquail (voiced byTedd Pierce)[3] who goes through various trials and tribulations to try to get a worm for his baby, Toots (a take-off, voiced bySara Berner, onFanny Brice's radio characterBaby Snooks[4]), only to have her refuse to eat the worm because it looks likeFrank Sinatra (or "Sonata," as she pronounces it).
Prior to the release of this short, the name "Quentin Quail" first appeared on a model sheet byBob Clampett, done at some point before 1942. The character is a precursor to Clampett's more famous creation,Tweety, and bears a striking resemblance to the canary.[5]Mel Blanc provides Quentin Quail's screams and sneezes, as well as the Crow's voice.[3]
