The Pilgrims land at Plymouth Rock and found a colony. A large number of Pilgrims can be seen standing in line--for their cigarette rations. A Pilgrim goes hunting for Thanksgiving dinner. He meets a black-market turkey who sounds like Jimmy Durante. The turkey sells himself to the Pilgrim, but a chase ensues. The turkey can deflect machine-gun bullets--when dressed as Superman. The two declare a truce and decide to eat together at Joe's Diner.
