But surprises are in store as Walton and his pal Sundry Moss become unexpected guests at the eccentric Fern Farm, where they become counselors to a downhearted pig and unintentional puzzlers of peculiar family secret.

Soon kindness. heroism, and hilarious misunderstanding will bring them all together as witnesses to a frightening natural disaster.
