Tubby sees a sign outside a restaurant advertising frogs’ legs. He inquires inside to find out what people do with frogs’ legs. “Why, they eat them, of course!” says the manager. Tubby knows a good business opportunity when he sees one. He gets Little Lulu to join him at the swamp to catch frogs. Knowing she’s too “soft” to sell frogs for food, he instead lies and tells her that he wants to sell them as pets. Lulu helps Tubby catch frogs in a hatbox. Once he has the frogs, Tubby tries to send Lulu away, but she insists on following him to make sure the frogs get good homes. She is surprised when they enter a restaurant, but the diners get the real surprise when the frogs escape the hatbox.
