Hammy's Cuckoo Bird gets the wanderlust and takes off to see the world. But Hammy can't wake up properly without his Cuckoo, even though Wind tries, Turtle tries, and Pokey the Woodpecker tries. Throughout the story Hammy gets mail from the travelling Bird, explaining her latest adventures. Finally GP builds an alarm-a-ma-bob device to wake Hammy, but it backfires and drenches GP in cold water instead. The bird returns and all is well.
