Hank Petrie and His Turkey
Hank Petrie, a shiftless yet philosophic man, bungles through misadventures to better his lot. He clings to excuses and odd schemes from woodchuck hunting to a ruined turkey raffle, hoping a clever hole yields a double turkey and a steadier future.

Hank distrusts everyone when harvests fail and borrows gear. He tests the squire’s fence and secretly feeds Jennie in the meadow. A red flannel marked turkey proves Hank’s ruse as the squire confronts the prank and yields the bird.
