== Biography ==
During his trip to the amusement park a self-centered rat named Ratso accidentally finds himself in a bird nest full of eggs and is accidentally thrown away with one of these eggs. Later, an ugly duckling hatches out of this egg. Ratso is forced to adopt the duckling, who soon begins to be abused by every other chick on the poultry yard. Ratso wants to escape but he cannot get rid of the duckling, who constantly calls him Mama (later, Ugly does begin to call him Dad). So, Ratso throws Ugly on the stage in front of lots of hens, and Ugly doesn't know what to do. Other chichen begin to hurt him, and he begins to chaotically run on the stage, which is seen by Ratso. Understanding that Ugly is the star he needs, Ratso returns and saves Ugly and decides to take him to the amusement park, where he initially wanted to show his old friend Weslie the worm. During their way, Ratso and Ugly accidentally save a female duck from being eaten by a fox. Then they decide to stay in an abandoned Volkswagen Beetle where they sleep there. The next morning Ugly wakes up as a teenager, and Ratso explains him how teenagers usually act. They meet Jessie, the same duck they saved prior. Ugly immediately falls in love in her and convinces his foster father to take her with them. Later, they have to cross a river, and Ratso nearly drowns, but Ugly saves him. Their journey continues until one night, when Ugly begins to dance, and Jessie laughs at him, failing to understand that it is what he's going to show on the amusement park. This leads Ugly to be abused on Jessie. Soon they reach the amusement park, where they are attacked by Ratso's enemy Phillis, and later by a cat. Ugly tries to save Ratso, but fails. Turns out that the cat is Ratso's cousin Ernie. Soon, Ugly is going to perform on stage, however, everyone starts laughing at his ugliness, much to his sorrow.

The next day, Ratso is lead away and Ugly mourns him. But in the last moment Ugly manages to get out of his cage (turning into a beautiful sworn and indirectly rescuing all the other Phillis's captives in process) and tries to stop what he believes to be an execution.
