The narrative revolves around Uncle Wiggily Longears, a gentlemanly rabbit, who encounters a turkey named Mr. Gobble Obble on the eve of Thanksgiving. The turkey, fearing he will be the central dish at his previous household's holiday feast, escapes with the cranberry sauce, hoping to disrupt their Thanksgiving. Uncle Wiggily, along with his housekeeper Nurse Jane, explains to the misguided turkey the true essence of Thanksgiving, emphasizing gratitude for blessings rather than just feasting. Together, they embark on a mission to deliver food baskets to less fortunate families, embodying the spirit of giving. In an amusing twist, Nurse Jane inadvertently gives away all their food, leaving them with a simple meal of corn and carrots. Despite the oversight, Uncle Wiggily, Mr. Gobble Obble, and Nurse Jane find joy and gratitude in their company and the day's accomplishments, underscoring the narrative's message of thankfulness over material abundance.
