Gummytoes, a young tree frog, allows himself to be caught by some young children because his greatest wish is to be admired. He dazzles the children with his skills but when they take him home and place him in a terrarium Gummytoes is startled and frightened. He longs to return to his natural existence so he engineers an escape plan. Gummytoes distracts the children and manages to hop away. He learns a valuable lesson about being the centre of attention and realizes that he needs to make himself happy in order to be happy.
