Quentin Quail is a screwball tale about a quail (voiced by Tedd Pierce) who goes through various trials and tribulations to try to get a worm for his baby, only to be rebuffed because the worm looks like Frank Sinatra.
[edit] Trivia
The name "Quentin Quail" is a not-very-subtle play on the expression "San Quentin Quail", although the meaning of that term, an underage girl ("jail bait"), has nothing to do with the cartoon's plot line.[1]
