As our
story opens, the Frog Chorus describes their
swamp and gives a clue of the evil nearby. The Swamp
Friends, joyous in their marshy community, sing a song of celebration. The Frog
Chorus tells that Petey Possum loves Pattie and faints
(plays possum) whenever he sees her. Petey's love song to
Pattie laments his inability to face her. Meanwhile,
the Frog Chorus
warns of what they feared in the introduction. A sinister pirate and
his monkey mate have come to drain the swamp to find pirate
treasure. A distressed
Pattie, Petey and the Swamp Friends sing an anthem to their precious
land. Inspired
by Shrewd Owl, the Swamp Friends come up with clever ideas to
save the
swamp. Once again,
Petey looks at
Pattie and collapses, and Pattie sings her love song to him. When the
Pirate kidnaps Pattie, The Frog Chorus keeps us in
suspense. 12. One-Possum Stew The Swamp Friends sadly return to admit their plans to stop the Pirate didn't work. 13. Running Out of Ideas Blues But Crafty Raccoon announces
he's brought in an army of bugs to try to drive the Pirate away. No one knows that
Pattie's in trouble until Petey overhears the Frog Chorus. Determined
to rescue her, Petey decides to play possum so he'll get
kidnapped, too. Petey's
plan works, and the Pirate announces he's changing his dinner
menu. The Frog
Chorus reminds us that while things are looking bad, everything could
change. When the
Pirate sees the swarm coming, he reveals that's the one thing
he's terrfied of. It worked!
And The Frog Chorus lets us know that saved Pattie and all is well. Pattie,
Petey and Shrewd Owl remind everyone that
the real treasure is their home. Finally,
the Frog Chorus rounds out the moral of the story. ©
