Then he gets his guitar and sings a song.
Timmy has an accident and makes a puddle on the floor. Dad comes home, sees the puddle, and aks Timmy what happened. Timmy blames the puddle on Lassie. Dad shows a side never before seen. He takes off his belt and tries to hit Lassie. Lassie, no pushover she, leaps for Dad's jugular, gets it, and severs it. Mom comes in and sees the situation.

She has, of course, put the hair back where it belongs. She steps to the microphones and denies that such a horrid thing ever happened. One of the reporters steps aside and reveals a large fan. He turns it on, and Donna's hair moves! She collapses from the shame and is institutionalized.
