Plot
Travis Tilby (Jordan Bridges) leaps into action when neighbor Stewart Larson (Lloyd Bridges) asks him to mind an ailing goose slated to be part of Thanksgiving dinner. A gentle animal lover, Travis dotes on the bird, feeding it by hand and speaking to it in soothing tones. However, as Thanksgiving nears, Travis has second thoughts about seeing the bird slaughtered, and he appeals to his father, Hank (Beau Bridges), and others in the community for help in saving the goose.

gollark: It's possible.
gollark: Anyway, try and work out what subtopics offer the highest exam marks per unit time, then focus on revising those, but don't spend too long on that or you will lose time on actually revising it.
gollark: You should probably do that? Sleep deprivation is no joke.
gollark: Anyway, if for some reason you *can't* do that, you almost certainly cannot revise a year of stuff in two complex subjects very well and should just try and work out what to prioritize.
gollark: Don't we all?
