Lester Pool is a television writer who can only create when he is ’living his script.’ His wife, Ellen, understands his temperament perfectly. Lately things have not been easy for Ellen, however, because Lester’s newest creation is Chickenman, a feathered character dedicated to defeating the forces of evil in Chickencoop City. To get the proper spirit, Lester has even built a nest on the living room floor. A hilarious scene ensues when Ellen invites an old school chum to lunch and introduces her to Chickenman, alias Lester Pool.
