Billybob lives in an attic in Australia with four rats brought together by love, rat police, and an unfortunate accident involving a banana. Unfortunatley, these rats live rather far from the rat grocery store. Their solution? Steal candy from Billybob's plentiful candy stash! Their heist sets off a crazy chain of events involving snare traps, rakes, and potato cannons. Will BillyBob be able to protect his candy? This is just one of three equally entertaining tales.
