A frog presents his beloved chicken with a ring. Unfortunately, it drops and rolls away. A string of butterfingered animal friends on assorted vehicles help them catch it. The accompanying rhymes ("Diving catches were the rabbit's style. / But his diving catch missed by a mile") are the percussive soundtrack in this cockeyed love song illustrated with muted flamboyance.
