WordGirl tries to prevent the Butcher from setting off his “Steak Bomb” and ruining the day of vegetarians city-wide.
Plot[]
In this short, WordGirl, Huggy and The Butcher are standing on a girder of an unfinished building. The Butcher is threatening to set off a large Steak Bomb, which will "beefify" the entire city. When WordGirl asks him "but what about the vegetarians?" he thinks she is talking about a musical group. She explains that vegetarians don't eat meat, which he thinks is disgusting.
She tries to get him to turn off the bomb, but he refuses. Then he gets attacked by crows, who are after the meat he's wearing, and he ends up losing his balance and falls off the girder. When he hits the ground, he yells "I'm all right!". WordGirl then turns off the bomb, which has counted down to one second.
The Narrator does not speak in this short. He does not speak in a majority of the 1-minute shorts, the exceptions being WORDGIRL! WORDGIRL! WORDGIRL... and WordGirl and the Narrator.
