Theme
Coily the paperclip Gilbert, frustrated with sofa seat repair, wishes springs out of the world. Evil animated Coily-the-spring grants the wish and keeps popping up worse than a Microsoft paper clip. It isn't really a problem for Gilbert until he can't drive his Chevrolet for lack of springs. When Coily pops up, Gilbert wishes his wish away, and in return becomes a scientician orating about springs. Especially those that produce the smooth ride of a modern motorcar, which he is fortunate enough not to have his pals drive over him in order to demonstrate.
