Plot
The episode begins with the Pink Panther peacefully sleeping, but the alarm clock rings, causing him to get furious and smashing it to pieces. Then he gets once again angered when the radio sings a song, and cuts the rope. Then he gets enraged for the third time when the telephone rings and he throws it away. Finally he wakes up when the sunshine shows up, only to discover he was too late for the train to the work. So he decides to buy a cuckoo clock. Back at his home, he is seen banging pins with a hammer, puts the cuckoo clock, and goes back to sleep. He sleeps for hours and hours... When the cuckoo bird shouts "Cuckoo!", however, things even get worse: a superfurious Pink Panther breaks the table, cuts and throws away nothing.
