Hothead (Courage the Cowardly Dog)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hothead is the sixth episode of season one of Courage the Cowardly Dog. This involves Eustace's desire to grow back his hair, and he goes to a hair tonic factory. However, things are not all what they seem...
[edit] Plot
Eustace wants to grow his hair back, and he sees an ad in the Nowhere Newspaper for a hair tonic. He takes Courage with him to the factory, but whilst in the bathroom he sees an old bald man put the hair tonic on. It effects his temper violently, so much that he destroys an entire wall. Courage tries to warn Eustace, but as usual Eustace ignores him and puts the hair tonic on. Di Lung recklessly drives and almost crashes into Eustace's truck. He then blames this on Eustace. The same effect on the temper happens with Eustace, and Di Lung's vehicle is destroyed at the hands of Eustace's vile mood. At home, Courage tries his best to keep Eustace calm, but he does not succeed. As Eustace's temper gets worse and worse, Courage and Muriel are forced to leave the farmhouse. As Eustace blows himself up, Courage and Muriel carry on happily as usual.
