This might just be the most bizarre cartoon [=McKimson=] has ever directed. In it, Moe lives in a mansion... but resides in a teepee within its master bedroom. He has a "forest room" on the mansion's first floor, where on a daily basis, wild animals are delivered for him to hunt. What's more, he reaches the forest room by ''running a water faucet down his staircase into the Forest Room and then canoeing to it through the running stream''. The cartoon's plot concerns him hunting a wild moose with a tiny body but huge head, while Jarvis acts as his backup. [[TheChewToy Almost always getting the short end of the stick with Moe's attempts at catching the moose.]]

! Tropes Associated with This Cartoon:

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: The moose sees right through Moe's "moose love call" and counters it with his own "Indian love call." Moe is fooled.

* TheChewToy: Jarvis, who always winds up at the receiving end of Moe’s attempts at catching the moose. He eventually snaps and has a small bit of revenge at the end of the cartoon.
* DeadpanSnarker: Jarvis

* PaintedTunnelRealTrain: A variation. At one point, the moose runs into the painted landscape on the Forest Room’s wall. Moe tries to run after the moose but is blocked by the wall.
* QuintessentialBritishGentleman: Even after reaching his boiling point at the end of the cartoon, Jarvis still maintains a classy British demeanor.
* SerialEscalation: In the cartoon's climax, Moe attempts to catch the moose with a number of different weapons, but each instead strikes Jarvis. Jarvis becomes increasingly agitated before finally snapping at the end of the cartoon.
