Surly (Flik) is an inventive squirrel who's always messing things up for his scurry. His latest mishap was destroying the food stores that were supposed to be used to pay off Mole King (Hopper). Now the strong-arming mole is demanding that the squirrels gather double the food -- or face annihilation. To avert disaster, Surly goes on a journey to recruit fighters to defend the scurry. When he meets a band of high-flying circus animals, he thinks he's found his salvation.
