To afford to eat Smedley's pancakes, Chilly Willy tries various jobs such as piano player, barber, blacksmith assistant, and photographer assistant, but none of them go well for him. When Chilly Willy discovers that Smedley has to make 200 flapjacks for a tough lumberjack, Chilly Willy ends up taking some of them, getting Smedley into trouble until Chilly Willy scares the lumberjack away.
