A flock of wild ducks is flying south, and Tom sees them. He fires several shots at them with a rifle and shoots a wild duckling in the arm. That duckling cries out in pain and tries to catch up with his family on one wing, but this does not succeed. The duckling slowly falls to earth as Tom prepares to catch him. The duckling ends up sliding across the ground, hits a rock, and bounces down, where he is knocked out.
