Plot
The Goofy Gophers find that the tree they are living in has been cut down, and is gone. They find that it's in a log pile about to be taken away, to be produced into paper. They find it, but have to go up a waterfall on a log. When they go inside, they find themselves coming face to face against a bizarre machine designed to turn trees into toothpicks. They also make artificial logs. They find a room with furniture made of wood. The furniture then goes on a truck. The gophers get a rubber pipe and one of the gophers breathes into the pipe and turns green. The truck then leaves the factory. The gas is left all on the street providing evidence for the gophers to find out where the truck went. The truck then runs out of gas and one of the men says "Are you sure you filled up before we left?" The other says "Yeah, I'm sure we filled up before we left." The gophers get their furniture out of the truck and put it back in their new furniture tree. They now have a TV and now waiting for electricity to go to their new home.
