Title card

"Bean Pod'ners" is the eighth episode of Hokey Wolf season one, and came as part of The Huckleberry Hound Show. It aired on April 30, 1961 in first run syndication. It was written by Tony Benedict, and produced and directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, the founders of Hanna-Barbera.

After throwing beans Ding-a-Ling gave him out the window, a beanstalk grows outside of Hokey's cave, which Hokey and Ding-a-Ling climb to so they could become "astronauts", but instead, they encounter a friendly "Big Bad Giant" and his dog.
