Synopsis

A criminal known as "The Bat" (X 490231, alias Willy Garrity, alias Cornball Smith, etc.) unwittingly hides a top secret formula in Woody's house. The bird mistakes "Formula 7 3/8 (One Drop = 50,000 Horsepower)" for his "Redwood Sap" tonic and turns into a multicolored Superman, gaining super strength whenever he ingests it. The chase is on.

Background music

The opera featured as a theme for Woody's first transformation is Richard Wagner's Lohengrin.

Notes

The story you are about to see is a big fat lie.
No names have been changed to protect anybody!
