[4] Piggy Hamhock is always hungry, thinking of eating and stealing food whenever he can.

Piggy's mother is continuously vexed by his seemingly insatiable appetite and inability to control himself.

Piggy's gluttony causes problems which give his mother and the rest of his large family considerable annoyance, especially at mealtimes.

The intention of the experiment is revealed when the scientist unveils his "Feed-A-Matic" machine, which he plans to use to force-feed Piggy as much food as he can hold.

Piggy then responds to his mother calling him to breakfast with fear—but quickly goes to begin devouring his meal, apparently having already forgotten his lesson.
