Summary:
When Hoppity the Grasshopper returns to Bugville, he finds that all is not well. The humans threaten the survival of his town. The residents of Bugville move to a beautiful garden not far away, owned by the kind-hearted songwriters Dick and Mary. Then tragedy strikes and they must return to the lowland. All can be saved if Dick and Mary can get the money to save their home, but the evil C. Bagley Beetle hatches a destructive and selfish scheme with his bungling henchmen.
