Synopsis
River is having a picnic, but ants carry away all his food. He spies a single plum high in a tree. "I'm so hungry; how can I get that plum?" he asks. Frog tries to help him, and so does a cat, a dog and a kid gone fishin'. Nothing works. But just when the precious fruit appears to be hopelessly out of reach, will help from an unlooked-for place change River's luck and give everyone a plum surprise?
