It presents a tale about aquail (voiced byTedd Pierce ) who goes through various trials and tribulations to try to get a worm for his baby, Toots (a take-off onFanny Brice 's radio character,Baby Snooks ), only to be rebuffed by her because the worm looks likeFrank Sinatra .Trivia
The name "Quentin Quail" is a not-very-subtle play on the expression "San Quentin Quail", although the meaning of that term, an underage girl ("
jail bait "), has nothing to do with the cartoon's plot line. [http://www.conmicro.cx/~eocostello/wbcc/eowbcc-qr.html]External links
