When the other animals of tiny Rattler's Bend reject his paintings, Holbrook the lizard heads to the big city to find artistic appreciation. There, he meets art patron Count Rumolde, who first befriends but later enslaves him. Despite tremendous odds, the lizard manages to escape and rescue his fellow workers. His engaging adventures make Holbrook a likable, courageous hero.
