is a 1943 American animated short film directed by Tex Avery, produced by Fred Quimby, and musical score by Scott Bradley.
Producer Fred Quimby disliked the cartoon but was surprised when it was put under the preservation in the Library of Congress.
[3] The short begins in the Painted Desert as a Jimmy Durante sound alike turkey vulture (voiced by Patrick McGeehan) complains to his friend Joe (voiced by Kent Rogers) about his hunger that his stomach literally starts to talk back to him, "Send down one hamburger!
A picture of a steak is shown on the screen for a couple seconds with "Auld Lang Syne" playing the background followed by a sign that reads "3 minute intermission for drooling - The Management".
The Durante vulture lets out a yelp (voiced by William Hanna), and when he questions Joe's actions he lies and explains he has a toothache.
The Durante Vulture sits on top of the stove which is revealed to be a conveyor belt to a meat slicer.
The Durante Vulture barely escapes being sliced and runs into a hole, and Joe uses a pickaxe to get to him.
The Durante Vulture pops up from another hole behind him and while trying to decapitate Joe proceeds to chop the cactus.
