Tired of blending in with her herd, hippopotamus Veronica sets out to find a place "where she could be different...or even famous." When she arrives in a city, she is definitely conspicuous and gets herself into all kinds of difficulties. The enraged populace sends her to jail, where only the intervention of a kind old lady sets her free.
