Billy Boy

A letter slides under the wolf's door, revealing a basket with Billy, a baby goat. Billy explores the wolf's house with unstoppable appetite, devouring anything in reach as the wolf offers milk. Billy spills the milk and proceeds to eat the bottle, the pacifier, the cutlery and the crockery, turning breakfast into chaos.

To keep Billy in check, the wolf ties him to a garden hook. Billy eats the rope and even the top part of the wolf's shoe when the wolf tries to stop him. The wolf checks his foot and breathes a small sigh of relief that all ten toes are still there.

Billy tries to eat the spare tire and swallows it whole, ending up shaped like the tire himself. The wolf watches with wide eyes as the goat's appetite continues to defy expectation. The scene escalates the comedy as containment fails again.

The wolf ties Billy to a windmill, hoping to restrain him. Billy eats the rope and then the entire windmill, leaving the blades spinning at the top without support. The farm falls into a stunned hush as containment collapses.

The wolf tries to move Billy in a wheelbarrow, pushing him away from the house. Billy eats the wheelbarrow and its wheel, foiling the getaway and only increasing the goat's exuberance. The wolf glares, realizing the plan has backfired.

The wolf ties Billy to a kite and releases him into the sky. Billy eats the kite and the string and even starts chewing the wolf's arm, prompting the wolf to calmly tell him to stop. The goat soars above the farm while the wolf watches in resigned disbelief.

Desperation drives the wolf to wrap Billy in chains and tie him to a tree on a small island. Billy proceeds to eat some of the film itself, turning the scene into a self-referential joke. The island scene becomes a surreal triangle of appetite and escape.

The wolf places Billy in the trunk of his car and drives away, hoping to relocate him. Billy somehow eats his way through the car and ends up devouring the motor. The wolf mutters in frustration at the sight of an empty shell where his car used to be.

The wolf ties Billy to a horse and tries to get it to run away with him. Billy eats the horse's hair, and the stubborn animal returns to repeat the tactic, this time with the wolf's hair missing as well. The wolf mutters 'Copycat' through gritted teeth as chaos continues.

For one final attempt, the pepper is placed on a railroad track and Billy eats the railway all the way to California, 2360 miles away. The trek leaves a long eaten path in its wake as Billy heads toward the distant destination. The world on the farm watches in stunned disbelief.

That night, Billy returns, eating the other side of the railway and collecting stamps from every state he crossed. The rail line becomes a living record of Billy's unending appetite. The strange triumph sits in the night air.

The wolf ties Billy to a rocket and launches him toward the Moon. Billy's appetite follows the rocket into space as he devours the sky along with his destination. The wolf watches helplessly as the impossible continues.

In space, Billy devours the Moon itself, taking its light with him and leaving Earth in darkness. The night sky grows dim and silent as the goat's appetite persists beyond Earthly bounds. The cosmic joke reaches its furthest edge.

The wolf lights a match and mutters a quiet 'Goodnight' as the cartoon closes. The Earth remains in darkness, bearing witness to Billy's insatiable hunger. The night ends with a surreal, sleepy wink.
