The day before Groundhog Day, Groundhog wakes up sick, and Dr. Owl orders hot clover soup and two days of bed rest for the flu. Not wanting to let everyone down, he puts up a sign for a substitute weather teller, and by ten o'clock a line of animals is waiting to try out. Mole, Eagle, Bear and Squirrel each want the job, but each one has a problem, until a stranger from Texas steps up. A gentle, funny Groundhog Day story about finding the right helper.
