Gifford W. Wingate, Mitch Kendrick
A chicken hawk, unhappy that he is seldom visited at his home in a zoo, attempts to improve his image. Chief among the devices he uses to lure visitors to his compound is a dramatic rendering of "The Winning of the West," in which he features himself in scenes as "King Chicken Hawk," builder of the nation's first railroad; as "William Allen Chicken Hawk," editor of the first frontier newspaper; and as "Judge Roy Bird-- Law West of the Pecos." A group of children and the adults who brought them are induced to play the supporting parts. History takes a beating, but so does the ego of the Chicken Hawk, who accepts at the end and identity closer to reality.
