This is in New Mexico in August of 1960.
The wolf piloting the KSWS News helicopter and the camera fox noticed a raccoon in peril just in time to rescue him from riding a rotted tree down to the ground.
Daddy Raccoon had taken on the job of cutting down a rotted tree. He chose to climb up into the tree to cut it down piece by piece because he was concerned about limbs snapping off and hitting the house if the tree was cut down whole.
While Daddy Raccoon was up in the rotted tree, the base of the tree began to break, thus the tree leaned over as he dropped his chain saw, and the ladder fell to the ground.
Mama Raccoon was terrified that her husband was going to get hurt. Raccoon Jr. was worried as well.
Every time Daddy Raccoon attempted to climb down, the base of the tree would make more popping and cracking sounds.
The helicopter news crew knew that by the time the county fire department could get there with a ladder truck, the tree would most likely fall with the raccoon still in it by then. So the wolf hovered the helicopter near the tree, and the fox instructed the raccoon to grab onto a runner.
After Daddy Raccoon grabbed onto a runner, the wolf hovered the helicopter away from the tree, then brought it down low enough for Daddy Raccoon to let loose and hop a safe distance to the ground.
Thus the day was saved for the Raccoon Family.
