| Based on James Thurber's short-story about a mild, henpecked man who, while preparing his breakfast, looks out the window and sees a unicorn eating flowers in the garden. He rushes upstairs to inform his domineering wife, and she accuses him of being crazy and threatens to have him put away. He persists that he did see a unicorn in the garden, and she phones for the authorities to come take him away. But when they arrive, with strait-jackets, they find the wife rambling and raving about seeing the unicorn, and promptly take her away. | |

This starts off as a cheery and colourful animation that sees a gent sitting at his breakfast table who glances out the window and sees a unicorn feeding on his roses! Astonished, he runs to fetch his rather over-bearing wife to tell her, but she's uninterested and thinks he's flipped his lid. It's ... there next time he goes to his garden and he even starts to bond with the creature. This time, his wife is convinced he's lost the plot so sends for the men in the little white coats! Thing is, her shrink "Dr. I. Ego" has other ideas as to who said what to whom and next thing, well you have to watch and see. It's of it's time, remember, so some of the 1950s language is a little inappropriate, but the twist at the end is well worth watching it for.
