Jack borrows a gun from the minister and goes to the edge of a pond to hunt. Mis-using the gun, Jack accidentally manages to kill not only a brace of duck, but also a hare and a fish. In the process Jack's head is sliced off by the ice on the pond, but he manages to stick it back on and it freezes in place. Jack returns home and returns to his usual spot by the fire. Jack then accidentally throws his head into the fire, whilst engaging in his old habit of picking his nose.
