When a terrified Ritchie (Larry Mathews) rushes into the house claiming that he has been attacked by a giant woodpecker, Rob (Dick Van Dyke) finds the story rather absurd. Amateur child psychologist that he is, Rob assumes that Ritchie is making up tales to cover up a genuine problem in his life. At least, that's what Rob did assume until he saw the renegade woodpecker himself! Veteran comic actor Cliff Norton appears as the game warden who solves the mystery behind Ritchie's painful plight.
