Elmer hilft einem Schmetterling aus der Patsche, der sich hinter einem Ast verklemmt hatte. Zum Dank verspricht der Schmetterling, Elmer zu helfen, sollte dieser mal in Schwierigkeiten kommen. Elmer lacht sich schier kaputt, wie soll ein Schmetterling wohl einem Elephanten helfen können. Doch als Elmer auf einem einsamen Klippenpfad herumspaziert, beginnt dieser unter ihm wegzubröckeln. Vielleicht ist die Idee ja doch nicht so lachhaft?
