Summary
A culinary caper quickly escalates into an audacious quest when Felix, driven by an insatiable, if mischievous, hunger, orchestrates the airborne liberation of a succulent roast chicken from an unsuspecting diner's grasp through a well-timed application of pepper. This fleeting triumph, however, is swiftly usurped by a slithering opportunist, leaving Felix both dinner-less and morally ambiguous. Redemption, or perhaps simply a full belly, arrives courtesy of a benevolent barber. In a spontaneous surge of gratitude, and perhaps a touch of bravado, Felix pledges to restore the barber's recently purloined emblem of trade: his distinctive pole. The solution, in Felix's uniquely whimsical logic, lies not in mundane restitution, but in an epic expedition to the very apex of the globe, aiming to requisition the celestial, magnetic North Pole itself as a replacement.
Synopsis
Seeing a man about to eat a roast chicken, Felix uses pepper to make him sneeze it out of the house--but it's then grabbed by a snake. A kindly barber feeds Felix, though, and in gratitude Felix promises to replace the man's stolen barber pole. And he knows just where to get one--the North Pole.
