Plot
Goofy is trying to enjoy some peace and quiet on his hammock, but can't find two trees to link it to. It is revealed that Goofy has a mock backyard on top of a huge skyscraper. To get a new tree, he heads out of the city and into the country to get a tree, but it is the home of Louie the Mountain Lion. Goofy and Louie begin competing for the hammock and tree (for example, they push each other off by sneaking in after placing a doorbell call). In the end, Goofy and Louie's competition for a resting place makes them both hang from a pole far above the ground. When the hammock breaks free, they go on what is similar to the magic carpet ride in Aladdin. Goofy and Louie decide to go their own ways, with Goofy staying where he is and Louie heading back to the countryside.
