The calls come pouring in: something is making a loud noise and keeping everyone awake. Then the noise visits Deputy Dawg at the jail. It's a little whooping crane with a giant voice. Deputy Dawg does battle with the maniacal crane, who's making enough noise to drive the whole county insane. At the annual watermelon wingding, the little bird invites himself, but he makes so much noise that it sounds like a steamboat whistle. The Sheriff sends for Deputy Dawg to get rid of the problem. Everywhere that Deputy takes him, the bird beats him back to the party. The Sheriff gets angry and threatens Deputy with his job. Deputy takes the whooping crane back to his nest in the forest, but the bird beats him back to town again. Deputy lays down a board and walks across it to put the bird on an island. The little crane beats Deputy starting back and pulls out the board, leaving Deputy stranded.
