## Synopsis

The story begins one day at Kissyfur's house, where Gus is tending to His garden. Inside the house, Kissyfur, after sweeping the dirt off the floor, wonders where to put the dirt, and tosses it outside, but on Gus' head! Gus calls for His son, to come down, which He does almost immediately. Gus gently tells His son that everything has its own place, and that if dirt is dumped in the wrong place, it could cause big trouble that won't be expected. Meanwhile, at Lennie's home, Charles and Lennie dump barrels of garbage down the lake, not knowing that the lake stops meters away. Soon, a swarm of flies gather to the garbage. eventually, the flies swarm everywhere, interrupting the Cubs' baseball game, terrorizing the Cackle Sisters, chasing Shelby, Floyd and Jolene are affected by the swarm, and Kissyfur with Gus are pursued by the swarm. At a meeting hall, (Boarded up to keep the flies out) Charles tries to pin the blame on Gus, claiming that His paddlecab is mixing the mud and weeds causing the flies to come. Gus calls out Charles on lying, as Emmy-Lou puts a stop to the quarreling. The denizens soon hear croaking from outside and see a big group of frogs, excited to eat the flies as Charles declares the village's problems are over.

As the day went on, the frogs chase the flies, unknowingly causing chaos to the denizens. at the Gators' home, as Jolene and Floyd are having difficulty capturing the frogs, until they see a big group of gators arriving to eat the frogs. with the gator mob causing more chaos in Paddlecab County, including stealing Gus' Paddlecab. Soon, the Denizens and frogs have another town meeting on how to get rid of the gators, who are outside the meeting hall, trying to break inside. Gus asks Emmy-Lou if there's enough food in the meeting hall, and Emmy-Lou responded that Charles gulped it all. soon, Charles takes a drink of water, but turns into a sick color of green and faint. Gus observes the water, and says that it smells horrible, as Emmy-Lou says that the water comes from the fresh water streams, and wonders what happened. Charles stubbornly accuses Gus and His padlecab for ruining the water as Gus disputes the accusation. Kissyfur gets an idea and recruits the cubs to help (except Lennie) find out what caused the water to go bad.

As the Cubs follow the pipe, They are ambushed by Floyd and Jolene, who chase them. The cubs spot the gator mob and take a quick turn, causing Floyd and Jolene to collide with the gator mob. eventually, the Cubs reach the end of the pipe, and they spot piles of garbage. They follow the stream and discover garbage barrels near Lennie's house, proving that Lennie's family dumped the garbage, proving that Kissyfur's dad was right. After returning to the meeting hall, they inform the grown-ups about what happened. The denizens then decide to clean the garbage-infested stream, but can't get out since the gators are waiting outside. The frogs lead the Gators away, allowing the Denizens to clean the stream. with the stream cleaned, the Denizens see the flies leaving. At Floyd and Jolene's house, the two bandage each other, they see a group of leaving flies, the frogs, and the gator mob trampling Floyd and Jolene, who decide to move away, once their injuries are healed.
