Director Jack Kinney has some very funny visuals in this seven minute animated short. Disney's Goofy (voiced by Pinto Colvig) decides to put up a hammock, but only has one tree in his city rooftop yard. He heads out to the country, chops a tree down, and returns. The tree was the home of Louie the Mountain Lion (voiced by James MacDonald), who follows Goofy to the city to take back his tree. Goofy and the lion fight for both the tree, and the hammock.
This short is funny, thanks to Kinney. There is plenty of falling from skyscrapers, and this was a vast improvement over other Disney cartoons from the 1950's. While the Sports Goofy shorts are still the best, this one runs a close second. A funny animated short that also suffers from being too short.
