Hoppity the grasshopper returns to his home garden in New York City. However, a broken gate has allowed humans to occasionally trample through what was once paradise, threatening the homes and livelihoods of all the bugs who live there. A greedy beetletakes advantage of the situation to steal Hoppity's girlfriend as well as a check meant for the owner's of the property which might save the garden. Hoppity is sealed in the envelop with the check and hidden in a wall. The property is sold and construction begins on a new skyscraper, driving all of the bugs away. Hoppity escapes and rescues his girlfriend, defeats the beetle and returns the check to the owners. They find a new home in a rooftop garden on top of the skyscraper. Animation by the Fleischer brothers is impressive as always, but the characters and plot are weak and the film as a whole lacks momentum.
