In New York City, a magician named Hector wants to be on a talent show but keeps getting rejected. He finds a singing crocodile named Lyle in a pet store and bets his house on their performance. Sadly, Lyle gets anxiety during the performance, and they lose the house. Hector moves out, leaving Lyle behind.

Later, a family named the Primms moves into the house. Their son, Josh, makes friends with Lyle, who saves him from a mugger. The Primms bond with Lyle over shared interests. Hector returns to visit Lyle and tries to make him perform again, but it fails due to anxiety again.

The neighbor, Alistair Grumps, is annoyed by the noise from Lyle, Hector, and the Primms. He bribes Hector to betray Lyle, leading to Lyle being locked up in a zoo. Feeling guilty, Hector, with the help from Josh, rescue Lyle. They reconcile with each other, and Lyle performs on a talent show with Josh's help.

A trial is later held to decide if Lyle can be free. The judge rules in favor of Lyle, thanks to a deed from Hector's grandmother. The Primms celebrate Lyle's freedom, and Grumps is hinted to be evicted. Hector befriends a beatboxing rattlesnake named Malfoy, owned by Josh's friend Trudy.
